Description
An Introduction to Forensic Linguistics: Language in Evidence is a comprehensive textbook that explores the intersection of language and law. The second edition builds upon the success of its predecessor, offering an updated introduction and two parts that delve into the language of the legal process and language as evidence.
The book covers key topics such as the language of the law, initial calls to emergency services, police interviewing, and courtroom discourse in Part One. In Part Two, it examines language as evidence, including forensic phonetics, authorship attribution, and the linguistic investigation of plagiarism. The authors draw on their expertise gained in legal settings to provide a nuanced understanding of forensic linguistics.
With research tasks, further reading, web links, and a new conclusion, this textbook remains a core resource for courses in forensic linguistics and language and the law. A glossary of key terms is also available online at
