Amirbayeva on Understanding the Significance of Forensic Linguistics Among Law Students

Dana Amirbayeva, The English and Foreign Languages University, School of English Language Education has published Understanding The Significance Of Forensic Linguistics Among Law Students. Here is the abstract.

The rapid growth of legal linguistics, also known as forensic linguistics, illustrates the development of modern science. Law students become engaged in a wide range of social endeavours, with legal language functioning as one of the primary tools. Both linguists and lawyers are interested in forensic linguistics due to its close connection between language and law. Many countries, for instance, collaborate with linguists on key topics that affect crime cases. As a result of incorporating forensic linguistics into law curriculum, law students are exposed to real-world issues regarding lawyer communication and linguistic development. This field offers the advantage of integrating rich and engaging activities that emphasise building legal vocabulary and developing investigative skills in incriminating circumstances such as fingerprints, blood spatter, bullets of various types, calibers, and sizes, and so on. The main benefit of forensic linguistics is the opportunity to integrate rich and engaging activities. Law schools should consider the implementation of forensic linguistics in law curriculum as a broad framework for understanding language styles, and evaluating recorded and written evidence, as well as other critical professional activities.
