Thank you for your patience while we deal with some technical issues.
ForensicLing.com is a central resource where researchers can access a wide range of publicly available forensic linguistic data. As the field of forensic linguistics continues to grow, the need for accessible data is essential, especially data that are difficult to acquire from private genres such as police transcripts, confession statements, bribery calls, and threatening communications, to name just a few. In collecting these data in a central, freely accessible location, we hope to further the field’s scientific inquiry, promote transparency, and encourage replicability in forensic linguistic research.
INDIVIDUAL DATA
INDIVIDUAL DATA
This page is especially helpful for researchers looking to perform qualitative analyses on:
1. a particular discourse type
(e.g., emergency calls)
2. a particular case type
(e.g., a bribery case)

DATA COLLECTIONS
DATA COLLECTIONS
This page is especially helpful for researchers looking to perform quantitative analyses of particular kinds of language evidence on:
1. public and corpus-ready collections
(e.g., the Threatening English Language (TEL) corpus)
2. public and corpus-preparation required collections
(e.g., the school shooter database)
3. private and permission-to-access required collections
(e.g., the Ted Kaczynski archive)
4. other FL data repositories
(e.g., Aston University’s FoLD repository)
CONTRIBUTE DATA
CONTRIBUTE DATA
We welcome additional contributions of data via the submission form on the Contribute Data page. As of now, the data are primarily from North America and in American English. We hope to expand this in the future. We thank you, as researchers of legal and forensic contexts, for your contributions and for your dedication to furthering the scientific inquiry, transparency, and replicability of forensic linguistic research!
