Welcome

Welcome to the Forensic Linguistics Institute

Forensic linguistics is the increasingly important branch of linguistics which deals with the interface between language, crime and the law.

The Forensic Linguistics Institute (the FLI) was set up in 1995 to research forensic texts. We run two of the most successful forensic courses on the web. We are frequently consulted by legal professionals and law enforcement departments from around the world. The director is John Olsson, MA (Bangor) and MPhil (Birmingham).

The FLI offers a confidential service to all types of law enforcement agencies, lawyers, and corporate and private clients from around the world.
