Assessment 1: Project Work

Practical project on one aspect of Forensic Phonetics or Linguistics. The topic that is not covered in this summative will be covered in the second summative (i.e. forensic phonetics or forensic linguistics).

This module provides an introduction to forensics as it is applied to both speech (Forensic Phonetics) and text (Forensic Linguistics). On this module you will learn about the roles speech and text play as evidence in the courtroom as well as for criminal investigations. You will be introduced to a range of topics from both forensic phonetics and forensic linguistics that will enable you to situate the use of language in the real world and to analyse speech and written language from a forensic perspective. The topics introduced through this module will be supported by lectures and hands-on lab work.
