If you are more broadly interested in forensic linguistics and the kind of evidence we give, we have a podcast (doesn’t everyone!) It’s called “Writing Wrongs” and you can find it on all podcast platforms or at www.aston.ac.uk/writing-wrongs

A phrasal verb is a multi word verb where the individual words can me unrelated to the overall meaning.

The standard English examples I came up with in court were “to take after your father” or “look after your mother” - meanings of “take” “look” and “after” don’t relate to the phrasal meanings.

I can’t talk about the case until after verdict and sentencing but I was giving evidence about slang.

There were a set of messages between a group in Urban British English and I was providing standard English meaning to the court. One slang item was a phrasal verb.

That was fun, I was just able to explain how a phrasal verb works under cross examination in a criminal trial.

This is a great case for demonstrating how skills in listening, transcription and interpretation of what is heard, can contribute to investigative work.

Nicci did great work in this case - you’ll be amazed at how she was able to produce the evidential transcript that helped solve this murder.

The episode involves a murder case where suspects were covertly recorded speaking using the language game ‘Egg Latin’

You can listen yourself to see if you can understand what they are saying - spoiler, I can’t!

Episode 5 of our podcast 🎙️Writing Wrongs🎙️has been released.
