Forensic Linguistics in the United Kingdom

Forensic Linguistics in the United Kingdom
  • Origins, Progress and Prospects
  • Ralph Morton, Emily Chiang, Malcolm Coulthard
  • Coming soon

  • This Element provides an overview of the origins and development of forensic linguistics in the UK. It starts with a brief overview of early forensic linguistic research in the UK context, how some of the earliest work came about and the circumstances that allowed the field to develop and grow. Following this, the Element details the UK-based developments in the forensic analysis of texts, most notably through forensic authorship analysis and profiling. Section 3 outlines the research on spoken linguistic practices in legal contexts, using the order in which one might encounter these parts of the legal system (the emergency services, the police, the courts) as a structure. Section 4 looks at recent developments in the linguistic analysis of criminal and abusive behaviours in online contexts. Finally, the Element summarises the current state of forensic linguistics in the UK, pointing to key debates and potential future directions.
Colonial Senses

Colonial Senses
  • Colonial Sensorial Regimes and Anti­-Colonial Resistance
  • Filipe Carreira da Silva, Sofia Aboim

  • 'Colonial Senses' explores how Portuguese late colonialism and its afterlives are experienced and resisted through the senses. Moving beyond a purely textual analysis, the Element examines the insurgent optics of Amílcar Cabral, the feminist haptics of Paulina Chiziane and the sonic politics of Black female activists in post-colonial Lisbon. The Element posits that Portuguese late colonialism's sensory regime prioritised proximity and aesthetic contact in order to mask violence and stifle dissent. Using social theory, literature and ethnography, we analyse a variety of visual, tactile and auditory registers. We offer a new hypothesis on the sensory architecture of empire: that the Portuguese colonial empire developed a distinctive multisensory regime structured around aestheticised contact, intimate violence and the suppression of autonomous sensory expression. Combining historical and sociological analysis, this Element demonstrates how sensory colonial legacies endure into the present and contributes to sensory and postcolonial studies.

Control Systems Theory

  • This book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in engineering enrolled in courses on control systems and optimal control. It will also serve as a valuable reference for mathematics students studying control theory. It offers a rigorous and systematic treatment of both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional control systems. The volume opens with chapters on essential mathematical foundations, including mathematical modelling, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations, establishing a solid framework for the study of control theory. Subsequent chapters provide an in-depth treatment of key topics such as controllability, observability, feedback control, state observer, optimal control, constrained control, stability, approximate controllability, and regularized control. The text concludes with comprehensive coverage of discrete-time systems and infinite-dimensional systems. Throughout the book, theoretical developments are supported by detailed mathematical proofs, illustrative examples, solved problems, and end-of-chapter exercises, making it suitable for both classroom use and self-study.

Postcolonial Reconstruction of History in African Drama

Postcolonial Reconstruction of History in African Drama
  • Soyinka, Ngũgĩ with Mugo, Hussein, and Johnson
  • Chima Osakwe
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    June 2026
    Print publication:
    31 July 2026
  • This Element investigates how selected postcolonial African writers have adapted or rather reshaped historical sources for dramatic compositions. The writers and works the author focuses on are: Wole Soyinka (Death and the King's Horseman, 1975), Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o with Micere Githae Mugo (The Trial of Dedan Kimathi, 1976), Ebrahim Hussein (Kinjeketile, 1970), and Effiong Johnson (Not Without Bones, 2000.) Their reading of the plays emphasizes their status as postcolonial texts and not just works of African literature. In doing so, the Element is mindful of the fact that postcolonialism has inevitably involved the conceptualization of non-Western modes of thought as a means of challenging the West. The author's central argument is that the selected postcolonial African authors use artistic licence to rewrite colonial history from below, transforming historical trauma into counter‑narratives that restore agency, dignity, and futurity to the oppressed.

  • Chapter 5 - Receiving Truth Commissions through International Law

    Truth Commissions and International Law

  • Summary

    This is the book’s ‘exit’ chapter. It examines how, following the success of the Truth Commissions in Argentina, Chile, and El Salvador, Truth Commissions were given an ‘origins story’. The argument is that this occurred in the 1990s through the retrospective redescription of Uganda’s 1974 Commission of Inquiry as the ‘inaugural’ Truth Commission. The 1974 Commission of Inquiry was established as part of Idi Amin’s response to international pressure from human rights groups (particularly the International Commission of Jurists). The chapter discusses how the redescription of the Commission of Inquiry began at the end of the Cold War, with the publication of an article by Richard Carver in 1990, and in 1994 with an article by Priscilla Hayner. The redescription of the Commission of Inquiry as a ‘Truth Commission’ turns on the extent to which it is considered an institution that advanced human rights, which shows how the authority of Truth Commissions has depended on their connection to international law from the ‘beginning’.
