Abstract:

This comprehensive, up-to-date volume reports on current practices and use of
Language Analysis for the Determination of Origin (LADO). Readers will find
chapters on how it is done, where it is used, how it is used, and learn about
recent developments on the use of LADO reports in judicial practice, and
current controversies in the field. LADO is a highly controversial topic, and
a relatively new branch of forensic linguistics that is used by most European
and some non-European governments. When asylum seekers cannot submit
documentary proof of their origin, their language can be analysed in order to
assess whether their linguistic profile is in accordance with their stated
origin. Around 10,000 such language analyses take place annually. This volume
is based on the series of meetings of the Language and Asylum Research Group
held between 2010 and 2012 and convened by the editors, and offers a
state-of-the art perspective from researchers, practitioners, policymakers and
stakeholders working on or with LADO.
