Organisers: Victoria Guillén-Nieto and Dieter Stein

We are excited to announce the 5th ILLA Focus Conference on Forensic
Linguistics. This conference will occur in Kaunas on 2 September,
before the 7th ILLA General Conference
(https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/ILLA_2025/) starts.
Similar to previous editions, this focus conference encourages
language scientists and legal practitioners to submit abstract
proposals on various fields of inquiry within Forensic Linguistics
(language as evidence), such as authorship identification, speaker
identification, plagiarism detection, language crimes, cybercrimes,
and deception and lie detection.

We welcome paper submissions related to the role of language experts
in criminal investigations, the linguist as an expert witness in
court, communication and interaction between lawyers and language
experts, courtroom interaction, admissibility criteria, and ethics.

As a new feature, we are accepting panel proposals for this focus
conference. Each panel proposal should include an introduction by the
panel organiser justifying the relevance of the topic and a minimum of
four abstracts. The abstracts should focus on specific investigative
problems, such as the impact of AI on identification tasks and
copyright infringement.

Finally, we also encourage submissions for training workshops and
posters.
