What is "forensic linguistics"?
Forensic linguistics is the study of how language is used in legal contexts, often to analyze written or spoken communication related to legal cases. This field involves examining documents, speeches, or conversations to provide insights into authorship, meaning, and intent. Forensic linguists may analyze texts for evidence of threats, plagiarism, or language used in criminal cases. Their work can assist in investigations, court cases, and understanding the nuances of language that may affect legal outcomes, helping to clarify issues for judges, lawyers, and juries.
