Course overview
In digital investigations, the one true constant is often the written word. Whether it is an email, social media post, forum message, threat communication, fraud correspondence, or even a username, language provides valuable intelligence about the person behind it.
The Fundamentals of Forensic Linguistics Course is a practical 2-day intensive programme designed to introduce investigators and intelligence professionals to the science of analysing language for evidential and intelligence purposes.
Forensic Linguistics focuses on how words, structure, style, and linguistic habits can reveal authorship, intent, deception, behavioural patterns, and attribution opportunities. Even when all that exists is a username or a short message, there may be valuable investigative opportunities hidden within the language used.
Sorinteq has been one of the pioneers in recognising the value of forensic linguistics within digital investigations, and this unique course provides learners with both the practical understanding of linguistic assessment and an appreciation of the “art of the possible” when working with specialist forensic linguists.
