AFL 2014 - International Workshop on Authorship Analysis in Forensic Linguistics (AFL-2014)

Authorship analysis is the process of examining the characteristics of a piece of work in order to draw conclusions on its authorship. This type of analysis finds its widespread applicability in areas where language is used as evidence. Forensic linguistics employs linguistic techniques to investigate crimes in which language data forms part of the evidence. The application of authorship analysis in forensics involves analyzing long fraud documents or terrorist conspiracy texts, through shorter letters, blog posts or emails, to very short texts such as SMS text messages, Twitter streams or Facebook status updates to check the authenticity and identify fraudulence. The objective of International Workshop on Authorship Analysis in Forensic Linguistics (AFL-2014) is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of authorship analysis in forensic linguistics. AFL-2014 is affiliated with Third International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI-2014), Delhi, India.
