Abstract:
"John Olsson's Forensic Linguistics breaks new ground in forensiclinguistics in measured but definite steps. The strengths of Olsson'scontribution to the field, and what makes this serve as a usefulintroductory text, is the depth of examples provided to the student, thedetail of cases provided for analysis, the practical analysis suggested inthe form of exercises, and the straightforward organization of the text.Professional linguists and students alike will profit from a carefulreading and lively discussion of Olsson's work." - Professor Gerald McMenamin, Department of Linguistics, California StateUniversity, Fresno
First published in 2004, John Olsson's practical introduction to ForensicLinguistics has become required reading for courses on this new andexpanding branch of applied linguistics. This second edition has beenrevised and updated throughout, and includes new chapters on language inthe justice system, forensic transcription, and expanded information onforensic phonetics. The book includes an appendix of forensic texts forstudent study, exercises and suggestions for further reading.
This unique, hands-on introduction to Forensic Linguistics, based onOlsson's extensive experience as a practising forensic linguist, isessential reading for students, and researchers encountering this branch ofapplied linguistics for the first time.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
