Explore the unique "linguistic fingerprint" common to each individual.
Join us virtually to learn about Forensic Linguistics
In this session, we explore the concept of an Idiolect, the unique "linguistic fingerprint" common to each individual. We will learn exactly what an idiolect is, what language features make up our "fingerprint", and how we can apply this knowledge to forensic contexts where we seek to establish the identity of unknown bad faith actors (e.g. those making death threats, faked documents, social media trolls, etc.).
