Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the main aspects of forensic linguistics and a short overview of the development of external and Ukrainian linguistic forensics. The research presents the key elements of forensic linguistics, covering it as a whole discipline, its history and development, both abroad and in Ukraine, problematic issues, and features of the development of the theory of linguistic forensics, use of linguistic evidence in court cases. In addition, the attention is drawn to the different views of both foreign and Ukrainian researchers of linguistic forensics as a specialised linguistic study of textual materials, other language objects, as well as non-verbal means of communication. Summarising different views on forensic linguistics, it is indicated that forensic linguistics in Ukraine is a relatively new branch of science in contrast to the countries where common law is applied, and where the field of forensic linguistics began to develop much earlier than in Ukraine.
