Tim Grant asks what progress means in forensic authorship analysis: the investigation of who wrote a text. He connects questions about linguistic methods to changes in forensic science, including the recognition of contextual bias, the need for validation and the way identification evidence is expressed.
An opening case leads into a review of authorship analysis, stylistics and stylometry. Grant examines what makes an analysis more or less reliable and argues for validating protocols that address particular case questions. The later sections consider future directions and the relationship between research findings and professional practice. This is a study for adult readers interested in forensic linguistics and the use of textual evidence, retaining its examples, charts, notes and bibliography.
