Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the importance of forensic linguistics evidence in unraveling intent in criminal cases through a multidisciplinary methodology that incorporates linguistics, forensic science, and legal analysis. Linguistic investigates written and verbal communication, such as written text messages, emails, and recorded conversations, through methods such as discourse and sentiment analysis in order to identify linguistic nuances that reveal intent. This study will enlighten legal practitioners, forensic experts, and policymakers on the opportunities and limitations of using linguistic evidence in the criminal justice system, which will eventually lead to the enhancement of intent determination in legal cases.
