Reviews for Forensic Linguistics

[A]n extremely useful book for students and practitioners in a broad range of fields ... [including] law students, practising lawyers, students of applied linguistics, criminologists [and] police officers ... One of the strengths of the book is that real-life legal cases are referred to when illustrating theoretical points ... [A]n informative and accessible text. New Zealand Studies in Applied Linguistics This book is vital reading for students and researchers of forensic linguistics and will undoubtedly help to cement interest in the field. It is stunningly comprehensive, addressing a generous range of forensic-related themes and issues: from cyber-terrorism to suicide notes. It takes in spoken, written and computer-mediated communication, examines, in detail, key studies and cases, and is written in a limpid and engaging style. The book also usefully includes a number of practical exercises and insightful commentaries which will prove invaluable to readers wishing to sharpen their forensic analytical sensibilities. This new edition of Forensic Linguistics is a joy to read, and I will be recommending it to all of my students interested in the interface between language and society. -- Kevin Harvey, Lecturer in Applied Sociolinguistics, University of Nottingham, UK
