This introduction surveys forensic linguistics in southern Africa and considers its development across the wider African continent. The authors explain how the study of language intersects with legal processes, police work, court interpreting, and the preparation of legal records.
Chapters examine the language of record, the translation of documentation into African languages, interpreting practice, and police interviewing. Historical discussion connects the emergence of the discipline with current research and possible future directions. The book places linguistic questions within the multilingual circumstances of the legal systems it studies.
