In July I passed my viva with no corrections. 🥳 It’s been a great journey with a project I thoroughly enjoyed: researching geolinguistic profiling in forensic authorship analysis with German social media data. Huge thanks to my supervisors, examiners, and chair. The funny hat awaits (December).

So cool to see my work with @danaroemling.bsky.social mentioned as part of "Forensic Linguistics in the United Kingdom"! Thanks to @ralphmortonlang.bsky.social, @emchiang.bsky.social, and Malcolm Coulthard for including us, and shout-out to our paragraph neighbor @lucia-busso.bsky.social.

David Griffin@linguistlawyer.com · 2y ago

Many thanks to @danaroemling.bsky.social for their lecture on forensic authorship analysis as part of my Language and the Law module this morning. It's always a pleasure to hear them present! Forensic dialectology in particular is such a cool subject; I hope the students know how lucky they are.

We had the launch for the new dialect atlas on Swiss German – a 5y project that's now come to an end 🌟 We're thankful to the @snsf-ch.bsky.social and @unibern.bsky.social. The atlas can be bought here vdf.ch/dialaktatlas... but is also available as a free PDF from www.dialektatlas.ch #openaccess

If you want to hear Lucia and me talk about the CorGeS, join us later today :) Please note the trigger warning as we will be discussing suicide.

Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics@aifl.bsky.social · 2y ago

Got plans for this Thursday? If so, cancel them, because we will be welcoming Dana Roemling and Dr Lucia Busso to our Thursday seminar series to talk about their work on CorGeS: a historic corpus of German suicide notes. Get your free (!) tickets here: tinyurl.com/525crbn9

Hello fellow forensic linguists, I thought I'd create a little space for us all. I'm new here so let me know if I've not seen you and need adding ❤️ go.bsky.app/Jtyb67V

Here’s what the other talks were about: Antti talked about the initial turns by the police (what are you supposed to answer when they say “Police!”?..) Helmi about the distinguishing features of texts written by human subjects and Gen Ai And Dana about geolinguistic profiling using Finnish Twitter

Many thanks to Dana Roemling and Helmi Siiroinen for organising a panel on forensic linguistics in Finland. Although I can hardly claim to be a part of the body of Finnish language researchers, it was great to hear about what others do and to share a bit of international experience #AFinLa

This is us being very happy about the positive feedback for our forensic linguistics panel at #afinla2024. We have some more plans for FL in Finland. And no, it’s not starting a metal band, even though we look like we had a panel dress code.

I’m in Tampere joining a criminology conference and telling people about forensic linguistics (in Finnish!) ☺️

Very excited to be co-hosting my first panel on forensic linguistics with Helmi Siiroinen at the autumn symposium of the Finnish Association for Applied Linguistics. We'll be joined by @anttikannisto.bsky.social and Daria Dayter @coocho.bsky.social. Looking forward to the discussions!

My article with @danaroemling.bsky.social is now available fully open access! Check it out for our thoughts on the difference between real law and pseudolaw and how to visualize the spatial distribution of features in corpus. #languageandlaw #pseudolaw #openaccess #forensiclinguistics
