Methodologies and Challenges in Forensic Linguistic Casework delivers a broad and representative overview of the casework that forensic linguists have been involved with recently.The book uses these case studies to illuminate how linguistic theory can be applied to the analysis of texts in real forensic contexts. As opposed to the removed and theoretical treatment of forensic linguistic methodology most academic literature relies on, this book considers the real-world constraints acutal forensic linguists operate under.
While delivering the methodologies and the reasons behind methodological choices in individual cases, the book offers a comprehensive review of up-to-date linguistic knowledge and its theoretical applications in areas as diverse as authorship analysis and profiling, plagiarism, and adversarial translations. The book will act as a platform to encourage further research and promote international discussion on the reliability and validity of various methodologies.
Readers will also enjoy the inclusion of:
* A thorough introduction to authorship analysis, including authorship profiling using linguistic and psychological techniques, native language influence detection, and computational approaches.
* An exploration of language and ownership, including plagiarism and trademarks
* An examination of meaning and understanding, including the determination of meaning, threat analysis, and linguistic deception analysis.
* A treatment of how to express forensic linguistic conclusions and communicate findings.
* A discussion of how to meet the standards of evidence in a legal setting.
Perfect for students, academics, professionals, and laypersons interested in the intersection of language and the law, Methodologies and Challenges in Forensic Linguistic Casework will also earn a place in the libraries of legal practitioners involved with the use of language analysis for investigative and evidentiary purposes.
