Forensic Linguistics
Forensic linguistics is the application of language analysis to legal issues. It involves studying written or spoken language in criminal cases, lawsuits, and investigations to understand communication patterns, identify authorship, or interpret ambiguous language. Forensic linguists may analyze texts, examine witness statements, or assess legal documents to provide insights in court. Their work helps clarify intentions, establish credibility, and support evidence in legal contexts, bridging the gap between language and the law.
