Dimensions of Forensic Linguistics

| University of Western Sydney
| Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
This volume functions as a guide to the multidisciplinary nature of Forensic Linguistics understood in its broadest sense as the interface between language and the law. It seeks to address the links in this relatively young field between theory, method and data, without neglecting the need for new research questions in the field. Perhaps the most striking feature of this collection is its range, strikingly illustrating the multi-dimensionality of Forensic Linguistics. All of the contributions share a preoccupation with the painstaking linguistic work involved, using and interpreting data in a restrained and reasoned way.

“This is an interesting and timely volume as the number of students of Forensic Linguistics is rapidly expanding and there is a shortage of easily accessible supplementary readings. The spread of topic, language of the examples and country of origin of the authors all add to the attractiveness of the volume.”
Professor Malcolm Coulthard,
Centre for Forensic Linguistics, Aston University

“The 'dimensions' of the title of this book, then, are amply met. The chapters are substantially wider that the scope of the earlier textbooks on forensic linguistics, and re-anchor forensic linguistics in a new set of parameters, where linguistics, as the scientific study of language, is brought to bear in fresh ways on the work of language in the law.”
