Meeting Description:

The theme of the conference is 'Forensic Linguistics/Language and the Law: Foundations and Future Avenues'. FLFFA 2014 is the first international 
conference on Forensic Linguistics/ language and the law to be co-sponsored by the International Association of Forensic Linguists (IAFL) in Africa and in 
the Arab world. The conference is co-organized, under the aegis of the Doctoral School in Arts, Letters, and Humanities- University of Sfax, by:

The Laboratory on Approaches to Discourse, Faculty of Letters and Humanities &
The Research Unit in Obligations and Arbitration, Faculty of Law- University of Sfax---Tunisia.

This conference essentially aims at exploring the linkages between the linguistic code and the jurisprudential apparatus in terms of their shared potential 
for heuristic effort and manipulative uses. Certain ancillary objectives include:

(a) Examining the degree of theoretical autonomy in FL
(b) Assessing the contribution of FL achievements in terms of their utility as external and auxiliary source of judicial truth
(c) Discussing the universality of FL findings and the degree of culture-bound nature (e.g. to whatextent does witness vulnerability manifest itself evenly 
across languages?)
