“…The term was first coined by Jan Svartvik in 1968. Svartvik was a linguistic expert whose work contributed to highlighting the impact of linguistics on criminal investigations and on legal activities and procedures (Coulthard & Johnson, 2013). Forensic linguistics is generally described as the application of linguistic knowledge, methods, and systems to legal settings.…”

The present study proposes an integrated framework that considers letterpair frequencies/combinations along with the lexical features of documents. Drawing on a quantitative morpho-lexical approach, the study ‫لسنة‬ ‫العشرون‬ ‫العدد‬ ‫اآلداب‬ ‫فى‬ ‫العلمى‬ ‫البحث‬ ‫مجلة‬ 9102 ‫األول‬ ‫الجزء‬ tests the hypothesis that letter information or mapping carries unique stylistic features; and therefore detecting stable word combinations and morphological patterns can be used to enhance the authorship performance in relation to very short texts. The data used for analysis is a corpus of 12240 tweets derived from 87 Twitter accounts. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) model is used for classifying the input patterns that share common features together as a clue that tweets grouped under one class membership are written by the same author. Results indicate that the classification accuracy based on the proposed system is around 76%. Up to 22% of this accuracy was lost, however, when only distinctive words were used, and 26% was lost when the classification performance was based on letter combinations and morphological patterns only. The integration of letter-pairs and morphological patterns had the advantage of improving the accuracy of determining the author of a given tweet. This indicates that the integration of different linguistic variables into an integrated system leads to a better classification performance of very short texts. It is also clear that the use of the self-organizing map (SOM) led to better clustering performance for its capacity to integrate two different linguistic levels of each author profile together.

“…La comunicación forense, en efecto, se distingue de la lingüística forense, de cuño anglosajón (entre otros, Coulthard y Johnson, 2007;Coulthard, 2010), porque esta última se ocupa del lenguaje del sistema judicial (de la lengua de los jueces a la de los jurados, de la lengua de los textos a la de las normas de los códigos civiles y penales, solo por indicar algunos) y no representa sino una parte de la compleja y polifacética relación entre lengua, derecho y ámbitos jurídicos y judiciales.…”

. La metacomunicación en ámbito judicial: las formulaciones. Propuesta de catalogación y aproximación a las actividades de imagen en contextos institucionales.Textos en Proceso AbstractThis work is in the line of Conversation Analysis concerning institutional types of asymmetrical situations (Drew & Heritage, 1992;Orletti, 2000) and, particularly, judicial oral interactions (Mariottini, 2013a(Mariottini, , 2013b PlanteamientoEl presente estudio se inserta dentro de una investigación más amplia sobre comunicación forense, cuya categoría abarca los múltiples aspectos que constituyen terreno de encuentro entre lingüistas y expertos del ámbito jurídico y judicial (Orletti, 2009). La comunicación forense, en efecto, se distingue de la lingüística forense, de cuño anglosajón (entre otros, Coulthard y Johnson, 2007;Coulthard, 2010), porque esta última se ocupa del lenguaje del sistema judicial (de la lengua de los jueces a la de los jurados, de la lengua de los textos a la de las normas de los códigos civiles y penales, solo por indicar algunos) y no representa sino una parte de la compleja y polifacética relación entre lengua, derecho y ámbitos jurídicos y judiciales.Marco teórico de referencia para la definición del objeto de estudio es el de la interacción institucional, que ha sido analizada a partir de los rasgos en los que difiere de la conversación ordinaria, la cual, a su vez, se define como el conversar sin objetivos establecidos, en situaciones de inmediatez y simetría. Caracterizar la comunicación forense significa entonces, por un lado, hacer hincapié en los aspectos lingüísticos y discursivos que identifican este registro de habla y, por el otro, describir más concreta y detenidamente los diversos fenómenos contextuales, ya que el contexto institucional modifica de manera profunda la arquitectura de la interacción que, a su vez, influye en las acciones y en las elecciones lingüísticas de los hablantes (Atkinson y

“…One of the main areas of forensic linguistics is the analysis of texts to determine their authorship (for more details on the areas of forensic linguistics, the reader is referred to Coulthard, 2007 and2010;Coulthard &Johnson, 2007 andGrant, 2008). In this endeavor, forensic linguists subject disputed documents to careful and close scrutiny in terms of their style, grammatical structures, lexis, semantics, pragmatics, and a host of other linguistic features.…”

“…Copious studies have been published on forensic linguistics and its role in attesting authorship of different spoken and written genres (Coulthard, 2010;Gibbons, 2003;Toolan, 2009;etc.). Albeit the abundance of such studies, the richness of the forensic linguistics field and its contributions to the legal system, the present writer is unaware of any study that has attempted to probe into the torture and the insurmountable spiritual and psychological pain inflicted on the person(s) wrongly and falsely accused of tampering with official documents or falsifying and faking them.…”
