Unfortunately, Evans had already been executed in 1950. On the basis of this research and other facts, the courts ruled that Evans had been wrongly accused. Svartvik demonstrated that parts of the transcript differed considerably in their grammatical style when he compared them to the rest of the recorded interview. His analysis involved the transcript of a police interview with Timothy Evans, a man who had been found guilty of murdering his wife and his baby daughter in 1949. More than forty years ago, Jan Svartvik, a linguistic expert, showed dramatically just how helpful Forensic Linguistics can be. Forensic Linguistics serves justice and helps people to find the truth when a crime has been committed. And translators and interpreters can use this research to communicate with greater accuracy. Lawyers, judges and jury members can use these analyses to help evaluate questions of guilt and innocence more fairly. For example, police officers can use this evidence not only to interview witnesses and suspects more effectively but also to solve crimes more reliably. The results of this analysis can be used by many different professionals. One of the main goals of Forensic Linguistics is to provide a careful and systemic analysis of language. But what is Forensic Linguistics and what is its purpose? Is it only about language and the law or is it connected to other fields of practice? Where can you study it?
