Both Daubert and Frye standards for admissible scientific evidence in American trials emphasize the importance of peer-reviewed scientific publications. Listed below are some scientific publications related to research conducted through ILE. At ILE, we see forensic linguistics as a branch of linguistics, so it is important to know researchers have published in linguistics in linguistics journals and at linguistics conferences in related fields (psychology, computer science, statistics, digital evidence, etc.). Listed below are publications and presentations in forensic linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and theoretical linguistics. All publications are authored by Carole E. Chaski, PhD, and joint publications list co-authoring research associates.
