Description
The Forensic Linguistics Institute (the FLI) was set up in 1995 to provide an analysis service for texts and language samples of all types, in the context of criminal and civil investigations. In this time we have written over 100 reports for courts, law enforcement agencies, and lawyers and corporate and private clients. A wide variety of text types and situations have been analysed, including witness statements, suicide notes, ransom demands, harassment texts, anonymous and threatening email transmissions, confessions, audio evidentiary tapes, mobile phone (SMS) messaging, and many other text types implicated in a broad range of investigations.
Forensic Linguistics is an increasingly popular subject of study, both at universities and other higher education institutes and as part of vocational training for in-service legal professionals and police and other law enforcement officers. Other professionals who have taken this course include personnel managers and senior administrators as well as US federal government employees. The Forensic Linguistics Institute has been running courses from our website at www.thetext.co.uk since 2001. In that time hundreds of students have taken our Introduction to Forensic Linguistics Course, or have downloaded our Forensic Linguistics Course Notebook. We have recently introduced a new course on Forensic Transcription. Our Institute is accredited by ODLQC (the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council) of Great Britain, and our introductory course is taught as part of the Masters in Forensic Science at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
The FLI offers a confidential service to all types of law enforcement agencies, lawyers, and corporate and private clients from around the world.
