LING 258 - Foundations of Forensic Linguistics
Semester Hours: 3
Fall
This course focuses on the foundational concepts in forensic linguistics and language and the law. Specifically, we will examine the ways in which language is used to interpret witness statements, police interrogations, and confessions, and to analyze cases of questioned authorship, voice identification, and trademark disputes. Additionally, through a variety of discourse analytic methods, we will explore the criminal nature of language as it has been used to threaten, bribe, deceive, and solicit illegal goods and services in authentic cases. We will have frequent guest lectures from experts working in the field.
