My name is Dana Roemling (/dɑːnɑ ʀøːmliŋ/) and I am a Doctoral Researcher in Applied Linguistics at the University of Birmingham. My research interests are in forensic linguistics and language and law. Within forensic linguistics I like to work on authorship, both comparative authorship analysis and sociolinguistic profiling, but I am also interested in other areas, for example suicide note analysis. Within language and law I am interested in statutory interpretation and power / identity in the legal discourse. I am also interested in sociolinguistics more broadly, especially dialectology, corpus linguistics and lavender linguistics.
