In this short blog post on R-bloggers (https://www.r-bloggers.com/2024/04/grammar-as-a-biometric-for-authorship-verification/) the amazing Valerio Gherardi gives a very concise yet comprehensive summary of our latest pre-print on the LambdaG method for authorship analysis

The next talk in our 2023/2024 talk series "Diversity in Linguistics" will be given by Sevena Olgar.

The talk will be on the topic of "Feature Effectiveness in Authorship Attribution". Find more information here: div-ling.org/talks

I’m currently reading the 2024 edition of the Routledge Handbook of Forensic Linguistics and I loved every chapter I’ve read so far! This is a must read for anyone interested in the latest research in the field of Forensic Linguistics.

Volume 37, Issue 2 of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law has some very interesting forensic linguistics articles!

I’m extremely excited to announce the pre-print of our new paper: “Authorship Verification based on the Likelihood Ratio of Grammar Models”

https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08462v1
with Oren Halvani, Lukas Graner, Valerio Gherardi and Shunichi Ishihara.

Lots of new and interesting studies are out that unfortunately no one shares here. It’s disappointing that the bird site is still the one that most academics prefer. Anyway, here’s one of the latest studies by Weihang Huang, Akira Murakami @mrkm_a, and Jack Grieve, that sounds very promising if you’re interested in Forensic Linguistics:

Just finished reading Georgina Heydon’s book Researching Forensic Linguistics: Approaches and Applications and it was so informative and easy to read! It’s a great book for both forensic linguistic students and professionals! #linguistics #forensiclinguistics #routledgebooks @academicchatter @linguistics

Corpus Linguistics has been a field that I’m very interested in lately as I find it very useful for conducting forensic linguistics studies. I still need a lot more training on the use of corpora, but here’s a great article on how corpus linguistics can be used for legal interpretation by Römer and Cunningham.

This Element by James Tompkinson will be available for free until January 10, 2024. I don’t have access to it😔, but I think it is worth reading if you’re interested in Forensic Linguistics. #linguistics #forensiclinguistics @academicchatter

That feeling you get when your research paper is quoted with support in a PhD dissertation from - of all places - Liberty University.

What do you even call that feeling?

Continuing with #ForensicLinguistics reading “Language and Online Identities” (hope I’ll have time to finish today):
interesting how the task of assuming victim’s identity seems to clash with intelligence gathering, requiring diff speech acts -> strings of interrogatives unusual for the vic

I got the book months ago. But I think now I am finally in the grounded enough headspace to start reading it

Look at this retro beauty! The Evans Statements, 1968 #ForensicLinguistics

Came across this chapter on by Tim Grant - I loved the sophisticated theoretical discussion about the idea of idiolect and cognitive & stylistic frameworks!
Also, can I just say “4n6” is genius 😁 not going to spell the word any other way from now on

If you like podcasts about language and linguistics, one of my favorites is @becauselangpod Highly recommend it! #linguistics #forensiclinguistics

I’m also specifically tying to track down Roosa Rentola, who by all accounts used to work at the Polamk, but is not listed there as staff and I can’t locate her email…
I’m thinking of going to the Police College in person (it’s just next to me actually) and asking at the reception :)

By the way, if anyone knows
- any Finnish work on forensic linguistics
- Finnish scholars or professionals working on forensic linguistics
- Finnish legislation regarding admissibility of linguistic evidence

A great read by Jack Grieve and Helena Woodfield on the language of #fakenews. I really appreciated their approach by clearly defining the difference between #misinformation and #disinformation. #forensiclinguistics @academicchatter @linguistics

Although I'm not very familiar with language processing and computational linguistics, I really enjoyed reading Andrea Nini's work! Finally some cognitive approaches to #authorshipanalysis ! #forensiclinguistics @academicchatter @linguistics

A quick #introduction here:
I’m still trying to figure things out, but I’m glad I made the change to this platform. I’m a part-time lecturer and a linguist. Currently studying for my second MA in Forensic Linguistics. I’m interested in doing an online Ph.D in Linguistics so any recommendations will be highly appreciated!

Had a wonderful day full of guest lecturer goodness yesterday: Isabel @Forensiclinguist has kindly agreed to come to Tampere all the way from Alderney & deliver a research talk and even talk to our students about her career path afterwards!

What a fascinating life, improving the delivery of justice through the analysis of language! I already have scores of student emails with questions in my mailbox
