Literary forensics

Literary forensics is the scientific analysis of texts to uncover authorship, authenticity, or intent. It involves examining writing styles, vocabulary, syntax, and other linguistic features using techniques similar to forensic science. By comparing a suspect's writing to an anonymous or disputed text, experts can determine if they share a common author or if a document has been altered or fabricated. This interdisciplinary field combines linguistics, psychology, and technology to solve mysteries related to literary works, plagiarism, or historical documents, providing objective evidence in literary or legal investigations.
