5th Forensic Linguistics Short Course

Host Institution: Heinrich Heine University, Duesseldorf
Website: https://div-ling.org/en/events/forensic-linguistics-short-cou
rse-en/application/

Dates: 03-Sep-2024 - 06-Sep-2024
Location: Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen

Focus: Forensic Linguistics
Minimum Education Level: n/a

Description:
As in previous years, we invite students (Bachelor’s and Master’s) as
well as graduate students and postdocs from Linguistics (and its
sub-disciplines), Phonetics and Phonology, Law/Legal Studies, and
related fields to apply for this international interdisciplinary
program. All sessions will be conducted in English.

The FLsc is taught by Dr Isabel Picornell and Dr Krzysztof Kredens and
will take place on 3 – 6 September 2024. For the first time, the FLsc
will span four instead of three days, as we want to give participants
the chance to practice what they have learnt in more detail. This
year’s programme will focus on:
- Disputed meanings (indeterminacy in language; threads, malicious
communications and defamation)
- Authorship analysis (profiling; theoretical foundations; casework
examples and methods; faked contexts; native language identification;
suicide notes)
- Guided case study (analysis and presentation of findings)

Our lecturers are well-known members of the Forensic Linguistics
community:
- Dr Isabel Picornell is a consultant forensic linguist and Director
of QEDforensics, which provides forensic linguistic services to the
corporate, investigative, and intelligence sector. Isabel holds a PhD
from Aston University and is a Visiting Research Fellow with the
Institute for Text Analysis (Aston Institute for Forensic
Linguistics). Her research interest is authorship style in deceptive
contexts. She is Immediate Past President of the International
Association for Forensic and Legal Linguists, a certified Expert
Witness (CUBS), and a certified fraud examiner (ACFE-retired).
- Dr Krzysztof Kredens is a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Linguistics at
Aston University. He is Director of the Centre for Forensic Text
Analysis at the University’s Institute for Forensic Linguistics and
Programme Director on the MA Forensic Linguistics. He has ample
casework experience, both as an expert witness and in policing
contexts. He has worked on over 100 cases involving questions of
authorship, disputed meanings and language proficiency assessment, and
provided investigative support and expert reports for law enforcement
agencies and courts in Australia, England, Norway and Poland. He has
been cross-examined in the Central Criminal Court in London (‘The Old
Bailey’) and is registered on the UK National Crime Agency’s Expert
Advisors Database as a specialist in forensic linguistics.
