Abstract:

Forensic linguistics is at the cutting edge of the undercover policing of
child sexual abuse on the open internet and dark web, and language and
identity is a fundamental part of this. The authors have drawn on their
extensive experience in training undercover officers to develop innovative
methods in identifying the creation and performance of online personas,
crucial in detecting identity disguise online. This groundbreaking book
demonstrates these methods through case studies, whilst also exploring the
link between language and identity. By bringing together previously opposed
positions in forensic authorship analysis, the book develops a novel theory of
linguistic identity, which will resonate not just in forensic authorship
research but in sociolinguistics more widely. This unique forensic linguistic
project has real-life impact in assisting the police in their investigation of
online abusers, and has impact for students and researchers of linguistics,
through its contribution to the research of linguistic identities.
