FORENSIC LINGUISTICS: ITS FORMATION, MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCH, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Keywords:
forensic linguistics, legal linguistics, linguistic expertise, authorship attribution, linguistic evidence, language and the law.Abstract
The article examines the formation, main research areas and prospects of forensic linguistics as a branch of applied linguistics. It traces the field from J. Svartvik’s 1968 study to its institutionalisation in the 1990s and reviews its current state in Russia and Uzbekistan. Three core areas are described: the written language of the law, language in legal processes, and language as evidence.
