The International Association for Forensic and Legal Linguistics (IAFLL),until 2021 called the 'International Association of Forensic Linguists',is a professional organization consisting primarily of linguists working in fields related to the area of language and law,or forensic linguistics. Areas of expertise include authorship attribution,disputed confessions,trademark issues,legal language,and language in the legal process,including the experiences of vulnerable groups such as children,people with intellectual impairment,victims of sexual offences,non-native speakers,and indigenous communities. In addition to linguists,the association has members from other professions related to language and the law,particularly members of the legal profession. It was founded in 1993 by Professor Malcolm Coulthard.
Linguistics is the study of language. The modern-day scientific study of linguistics is called a science because it entails a comprehensive,systematic,objective,and precise analysis of all aspects of language –i.e.,the cognitive,the social,the cultural,the psychological,the environmental,the biological,the literary,the grammatical,the paleographical,and the structural.
Language analysis for the determination of origin (LADO) is an instrument used in asylum cases to determine the national or ethnic origin of the asylum seeker,through an evaluation of their language profile. To this end,an interview with the asylum seeker is recorded and analysed. The analysis consists of an examination of the dialectologically relevant features in the speech of the asylum seeker. LADO is considered a type of speaker identification by forensic linguists. LADO analyses are usually made at the request of government immigration/asylum bureaux attempting to verify asylum claims,but may also be performed as part of the appeals process for claims which have been denied;they have frequently been the subject of appeals and litigation in several countries,e.g. Australia,the Netherlands and the UK.

Native-language identification (NLI) is the task of determining an author's native language (L1) based only on their writings in a second language (L2). NLI works through identifying language-usage patterns that are common to specific L1 groups and then applying this knowledge to predict the native language of previously unseen texts. This is motivated in part by applications in second-language acquisition,language teaching and forensic linguistics,amongst others.
