Description

This volume contains several of the papers presented at the Second European IAFL Conference on Forensic Linguistics/Language and the Law, held at the Institut Universitari de Lingüística Aplicada (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona (Spain)) on September 14-16, 2006. This conference responded to the long-felt need to bring together scholars from Europe, but also from other regions of the world, who conduct research and act as expert witnesses in court in a series of dimensions of Forensic Linguistics/Language and the Law. It includes 5 plenary lectures, 22 papers, 3 papers submitted to the Colloquium on Law and Cognition, 3 papers submitted to the Colloquium on Comprehensibility in Legal Contexts and 2 posters, all of them evaluated on the basis of a) conceptual and methodological relevance to the study of Forensic Linguistics/Language and the Law, b) empirical and conceptual substance, c) quality of argumentation and d) originality.\n
