Andrea Nini develops a linguistic account of how individual patterns of language use can support authorship analysis. The book begins with the problem of identifying the producer of a questioned text and asks how computational success can be connected with an interpretable theory of language and cognition.
Drawing on cognitive linguistics, the study establishes a formal framework for modeling language processing and applies it in three computational experiments. The discussion includes the likelihood-ratio framework and examines how theoretical assumptions shape the interpretation of evidence about authorship.
The emphasis is on the relationship between a person's linguistic habits, mathematical representation and the inferences a researcher can draw from textual data. Rather than presenting an identification tool as a self-contained solution, the book connects its methods with an explicit account of linguistic individuality. It offers a compact scholarly treatment for readers interested in forensic linguistics, idiolect, computational language analysis and the foundations of authorship research.
