What matters in linguistic examination
- keeping words in context;
- distinguishing statements of fact from value judgements;
- ensuring that specialist knowledge does not take the place of the court's legal assessment;
- presenting findings clearly, in a verifiable form and with due regard for procedural requirements.
Combined examination
If a dispute requires the assessment of verbal influence, psychological perception, political context, authorship or the digital source of the material, a combined examination involving specialists in the relevant fields may be needed.
