| Abstract: | Forensic Linguistics refers to methodological linguistic investigations and analysis of any productive document i.e. voice or written file. It delves deep into the file based on its tone, style, grammar, structures, types and patterns of writing, conversational analysis, length of sentences and phrases, vocabulary, and some sub areas of descriptive linguistics such as lexis, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse and text analysis, tree analysis, phonological analysis and decoding, applying cooperative principle of Grice's Maxims, inferences, presuppositions and implicatures and so on. It is the latest discipline in academic areas dealing with analysis of a text, letter, an e-mail, tweets, blog comments, SMS, a death will, confession, interview etc. with a view to making a technical post-mortem of the stated forms for individual, institutional or state purposes. It explores a bridge between Law and Language for further investigations based on the need of court or state. Forensic linguistic is getting popularity quickly because of the emerging tendency of us to stay more time in the virtual world comparing to even a half decade ago. The easy access to virtual world has made a complicated and unsafe environment where a person has no nationality, requires no visa, restricted by no law, simply a human being dealing with the weapon of his/her intellect. The awareness of Forensic Linguistic can raise equal awareness among the persons or professionals. This study aims at focusing the area and importance of Forensic Linguistic, the way how it works with an example. It is not to be denied that the increasing necessity of Forensic Linguistic is felt everywhere where in somewhere, the concept is still dormant. Writing assignments, testing and evaluation, thesis writing etc. are very common in educational institutions where the chance of fabricated texts, mimed extracts, unfair means in the examination halls using IT tools are becoming visible and common. This paper also seeks to explore the possibility of treating the key features of Forensic Linguistic to be an issue for discussion in universities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
