Abstract:

Working in Language and Law: A German Perspective is a detailed account of
the forensic linguistic work done by the author in the last 35 years. It
provides exemplary insights into an ever-expanding field of expert
testimony focusing on the situation in Germany since the seventies.
Covering all major areas of the field including the problems and caveats of
each, it outlines future tasks and developments. Of special interest are
the explicit and implicit contrasts between the American and the German
'systems'.
