The Forensic Linguistic Case File
An Online Forensic Linguistics Course

The online forensic linguistic course consists of eight modules, listed below. Each module handles a different aspect of forensic linguistics, using actual forensic (and sometimes political) texts to illustrate the discussion. Students get hands-on experience analysing texts from the extensive collection to which the Forensic Linguistics Institute has access, some of which are exclusive to us.

Course Modules

• The tools of analysis: text measurement, basic text statistics, transcription, care of texts
• How language is produced
• The myth of the linguistic fingerprint
• Truth or lies: telling the difference
• Genuine vs false texts
• Assessing risk
• Profiling speakers and writers
• Judicial and political impartiality: language, power and fairness
