This video introduces forensic linguistics as the scientific analysis of language evidence in criminal and civil contexts, outlining its dual role in suspect identification and as admissible expert testimony (Saragih). It surveys related sub‑fields, including document examination—highlighting stylistic markers such as punctuation, spelling, and dating—and software‑based authorship identification applied to computer code, thereby linking the material to stylometry, authorship attribution, and questioned‑document analysis.
