Book synopsis

Discover more about Forensic Linguistics, a fascinating cross-disciplinary field from an international team of renowned contributorsMethodologies and Challenges in Forensic Linguistic Casework provides an overview of the range of forensic linguistic casework typically found in investigative and judicial contexts. In these case studies, the authors demonstrate how linguistic theory is applied in real-life forensic situations and the constraints and challenges they have to deal with. Drawing on linguistic expertise from the USA and Europe involving casework in English, Spanish, Danish and Portuguese, our contributing practitioners exemplify the most common types of text analysis such as identifying faked texts, suspect profiling, analyzing texts whose authorship is questioned, and giving opinions on meaning and understanding.This book approaches forensic linguistic casework from an investigative, expert witness, and practical perspective. It attempts to inform both law enforcement and other types of investigators about the potential assistance linguistic analysis can provide, as well as the limitations of that assistance; to help lawyers, judges, and juries to weigh forensic linguistics evidence; and to guide beginning forensic linguistic practitioners on current best practice to meet the challenges of casework.Methodologies and Challenges in Forensic Linguistic Casework is designed for investigators and legal practitioners interested in the use of language analysis for investigative or evidentiary purposes, as well as for students and researchers wanting to understand how linguistic theory and analysis may be applied to solving real-life forensic problems.
