Hi Emily,



How exciting that you will both have English undergrads and students taking a certificate in legal studies for this course! They can really bring each other fruitful additional perspectives on issues.



With the caveat that the latter group may not be as well-versed in linguistics terminology and theory as is preferable for this textbook, I would recommend Coulthard, Johnson and Wright's "An Introduction to Forensic Linguistics: Language in Evidence". It comes in both paperback and as an e-book so is easy for your students to get (and perhaps you can get your school library to subscribe to the e-book?). https://www.routledge.com/An-Introduction-to-Forensic-Linguistics-Language-in-Evidence/Coulthard-Johnson-Wright/p/book/9781138641716



It covers most of the topics you outline, as well as authorship analysis, which is the most frequently task type for FL expert witnesses.



For more specific readings, you can check out the Routledge Handbook in Forensic Linguistics https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Forensic-Linguistics/Coulthard-May-Sousa-Silva/p/book/9780367531225 and also browse the three international journals listed below (two unfortunately very similarly named):



- The International Journal of Speech, Language and the Law is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles on any aspect of forensic language, speech and audio analysis. https://journal.equinoxpub.com/IJSLL

- Language and Law / Linguagem e Direito is a free, exclusively online double blind peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. It is available on the website of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto, at http://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/LLLD/  .

- International Journal of Language & Law (JLL) is a platinum open access e-journal which offers a scholarly forum for research on the interdependence of language and law, from theoretical approaches to practical problems. http://www.languageandlaw.eu/jll



I'm sure you're aware of the terminological discussions in the filed regarding the breadth of the term "forensic linguistics" - in some regions, it is used as widely as you suggest (and as the title of Coulthard et al. show), in others it is limited to the sub-field 'language as evidence'. If nothing else, it is useful for students to be aware of this discussion.



Good luck on your course!

Tanya

From: Emily Feuerherm <[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>>

Subject: Language and Law





Hello teachling,





I'm preparing to teach a new course called "Language and Law" and I'm

looking for recommendations for course readings and/or a textbook. This

course is an intro course for undergraduate students and is part of the

English program as well as a certificate in legal studies. Below you'll

find the course description.





*An introduction to forensic linguistics, this course examines the

relationship between law and language including legal language, courtroom

discourses, language policies, rights of minoritized language speakers,

legal interpreting, the role of the linguist as expert witness, and

language variation in legal settings. *





Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks so much for your help,

-Emily
