Reviews

It is altogether fitting and proper for experienced and knowledgeable scholars like Professor Heydon to share their expertise about how to solve human problems. And this is exactly what she does with numerous highly readable, evidence-based case studies that will surely inspire newcomers to enter this field while also supporting veteran linguists in our rapidly developing field of forensic linguistics. Although her book abounds with citations from linguistic theory and research, Professor Heydon still treats her readers to a fascinating tour of law cases in which linguistic rubber meets the realistic road of law. Roger W. Shuy, Georgetown University, USA
