  • Malcolm Coulthard, Aston University

    Malcolm Coulthard is Emeritus Professor of Forensic Linguistics at the University of Aston. He is probably still best known for his work on the analysis of spoken and written discourse, but since the late 1980s he has become increasingly involved with forensic applications of linguistics. He has been commissioned to write expert reports in over 230 cases and given evidence on author attribution in the Courts of Appeal in London, as well as in lower courts in England, Germany, Hong Kong and Northern Ireland. Major recent publications in the area of Forensic Linguistics, with Alison Johnson, are An Introduction to Forensic Linguistics (2nd edition, 2017) and A Handbook of Forensic Linguistics (2010; 2nd edition planned for 2020). He is also founding co-editor of the international open-access journal Language and Law-Linguagem e Direito.
