APL110 - Forensic Linguistics - An Overview

In this overview of Forensic linguistics, Prof. Handke discusses the central goals of this new and growing disipline, as well as the central principles of voice identification and authorship profiling, including a typology of forensic texts.

Have you ever considered the possibility of applying forensic linguistic (author profiling) to determine whether Paul the Apostle wrote certain books of the Bible?  I know this is not as glamorous as solving crime but there are so many theologians who say the Pastoral Epistles are not Pauline in origin based on style, while others say these differences may be explainable.  It seems to me, that applying the science of forensic linguistics to the body of evidence would be extremely useful.  I don't know how lucrative it would be, but it would certainly be appreciated.

And sometimes the victim is forced into writing a suicide note by the murderer.

I really love these lectures - my only query is whether we could use more plain english for some of the words. i just think it would make it a bit more accessible, often it feels like there's no need to use a formal/specialist term for some of these things, especially in an introductory course. but that said this is all still awesome :D

I don't understand the "supernumerary" punctuation example. How is it special?
