This recorded episode of the Aston Originals series “CorpusCast” features a conversation with Prof. Tim Grant and Dr. Lucia Busso on the application of corpus linguistics to forensic linguistics. The discussion highlights the use of large‑scale linguistic pattern analysis for authorship attribution, including the examination of online communication, police interviews, sexual‑assault cases, abusive letters, and media language. The speakers describe how corpus‑based methods support forensic investigations by providing systematic evidence for the identification and profiling of linguistic behavior.
