Este libro sigue la pauta iniciada hace unos años por varios investigadores españoles e iberoamericanos, aumentando sus hallazgos sobre la lingüística forense con casos y datos de la comunidad hispana estadounidense. El autor propone tres metas con respecto al tema: una de comentar el estado actual de la investigación, otra de presentarle al investigador académico y al perito profesional casos a manera de ejemplo de la lingüística forense, y una tercera de aportarle al alumno universitario un libro de curso que le sirva para iniciarse en el campo de la lingüística forense. Se organiza el volumen alrededor de sus objetivos. Luego de considerar el contexto extralingüístico de la presente obra, se enfoca la lingüística forense y su práctica en el peritaje lingüístico. Siguen dos capítulos que abarcan el estudio de la variación lingüística observada en el estilo escrito, cuya finalidad es la de aplicar el análisis del estilo (la estilística) a casos forenses de autoría dubitada. Los demás capítulos presentan varios estudios de caso que pretenden proporcionarle al alumno modelos verdaderos de cómo se entreteje la práctica de la lingüística forense con la teoría lingüística de fondo.

Ted Kaczynski's manifesto. The ransom note for Jon Benét Ramsey. The anthrax letters threatening our government and media agencies. With the aid of forensic linguistics, the words criminals leave behind in their unsigned letters can be as distinctive as a signature or voice. Although the linguistic study of language is well established, this important analytical tool is something new for many jurors, judges, attorneys, and other forensic specialists dealing with both criminal and civil cases. Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics provides an introduction to the field for those who need to understand what linguist-witnesses do, and aids those experts who need to talk about what they do in non-technical terms. Stylistics is an identification method which seeks to match one piece of writing to another by analyzing such factors as spelling, text arrangement, abbreviations, word formation, characteristic words and phrases, and syntax. Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics documents current advances in this field, including quantitative methods of data analysis, a new way to provide scientific standardization, and new research directed at providing baseline data for determining the significance of style markers. The book begins with concise coverage of linguistics and writing. It then focuses on the specifics of stylistics, including summaries of over 70 authorship cases. Finally, it presents chapters covering style and stylistics in Spanish, Gujarati, Korean, and Japanese. With a clear and comprehensive presentation, Forensic Linguistics: Advances in Forensic Stylistics helps readers understand recent advances in the theory and method of forensic stylistics for authorship identification.
