Subject: Forensic Linguistics / Applied Corpus Linguistics (Jrnl)


Call for Papers:

Language plays a key role in online offending and adversarial
interpersonal behaviours. Corpus linguistics is a distinctive and
valuable part of the researcher and practitioner toolkit for better
understanding and tackling cyber-dependant and cyber-enabled crimes.
Given their ability to identify significant language patterns across
large bodies of textual data, reveal distinctive linguistic features
of given text types and communities, and isolate specific areas in the
data for closer examination, corpus methods are well-equipped to bring
new insights and solutions for detecting and analysing criminal
behaviour online.


This special issue of Applied Corpus Linguistics will bring together
articles that demonstrate the cutting-edge of corpus research, methods
and analyses being developed and applied across the range of diverse
types of online threats faced internationally. The issue will present
articles for an academic and non-academic audience, and particularly
aims to engage audiences involved in international law enforcement,
(cyber)security and online safeguarding with the benefits of embedding
corpus linguistics in innovative methods of detecting, avoiding and
defeating online crime.

This call seeks proposals for articles that draw on a corpus of
language data and apply established or innovative techniques in corpus
linguistics. Analyses should combine quantitative and qualitative
approaches, rather than be purely computational or ‘black box’
methods. Ideally, articles will go beyond describing online crime and
have clear implications for the ways in which corpus approaches can
contribute to addressing of online crime. Articles analysing any
language are welcomed that related to any kind of online,
cyber-dependant or cyber-enabled crime, including but not limited to
the following:

• Illicit and malicious online communication
• Dark web sites and forums
• Extremist communities
• Online grooming and child sexual abuse
• Trading illegal items in online marketplaces
• Scams and fraud
• Spam and phishing
• False accounts and identity assumption
• Obscene publications
• Cyberstalking, bullying and mobbing
• Harassment, threats and trolling
• Incitement, conspiracy and solicitation
• Disinformation and fake news
• Deception
• Plagiarism
• Manipulation, coercion and control
• Author identification and de- anonymisation

Authors are invited to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words
(excluding references) to David Wright (david.wright at ntu.ac.uk) by
midnight on Monday 1st July 2024. Please include the full names of all
of the authors, along with affiliations and contact details for the
corresponding author. Please note, if accepted for the issue, full
articles should not normally exceed 9,000 words excluding tables and
figures. The full author guidelines for Applied Corpus Linguistics can
be found here: Guide for authors.

The timeline of the issue is:

• 1st July 2024 – deadline for article abstracts
• 31st July 2024 – response to abstracts
• 1st February 2025 – submission of full papers
• April 2025 – peer-review response
• June 2025 – revised submissions due (5 weeks after receipt of
reviews)
• June-November 2025 – publication of papers as they are completed
• November 2025 – full volume completion
