Forensic linguistics is the application of linguistic knowledge to legal issues. It involves analyzing language used in legal contexts, such as courtroom testimonies, contracts, and threatening letters. Experts in this field can help determine authorship, clarify meanings, and assess the credibility of statements. This discipline combines elements of linguistics, law, and criminal justice. Forensic linguists may work with law enforcement agencies, lawyers, or courts to provide insights into language-related evidence. Their analyses can play a crucial role in criminal investigations and legal proceedings, influencing outcomes based on the interpretation of language.
