Reviews

''The author should be complimented for his efforts in making technical material accessible to a wide array of readers by explaining things in straightforward and simple terms. Praise is also due to the publisher for the extremely attractive and readable typography and book design. Paul Newman, Language, Vol. 83, No. 4<br>--Sanford Lakoff


Forensic Linguistics is a timely text; until recently few courses in this area existed. As this is a textbook for students, prior to dealing with other more specialist topics like statement analysis and plagiarism. the author suggests working through the several exercises in each chapter, for each of which model answers are helpfully provided at the end of the book.
