<p>Forensic linguists are increasingly hired in many Western countries, and their need is also emphasized in some developing countries. However, the idea of hiring forensic linguists in Pakistan's Sindh province is still novel. This exploratory research surveys language and law courses in universities in Sindh to determine awareness of Forensic Linguistics and further investigates the perceptions of Sindhi lawyers regarding the use of forensic linguistic evidence and its admissibility in Sindh. Moreover, the survey responses were verified and triangulated by conducting 10 semi-structured interviews with 10 Sindhi lawyers. The proformas of six local universities were accessed to identify courses on Forensic Linguistics, and a 13-item questionnaire was sent via email, Facebook and WhatsApp to eleven lawyers, and 10 interviews were conducted via WhatsApp. Analysis of the search results, the informants' responses, and interviews was conducted using Bucholtz and Hall's (2005) concept of identity and Foucault's (1980) notion of power/knowledge. Responses showed that the lawyers made use of medical and other expert witnesses in trials to support their cases but were reluctant to use the services of forensic linguists, perceiving that to do so would indicate professional weakness on their part as they regard facility with language as within their professional competence. However, when the subjects were informed in a follow-up to the questionnaire of how their counterparts in Western countries made use of forensic speech analysts in court, a significant shift in their perceptions of the role of forensic linguists was noted. The limitations of this preliminary study notwithstanding, we see grounds here for spreading awareness and knowledge of Forensic Linguistics in Sindh and other provinces in Pakistan.</p>

<p>In the past decade, research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) has flourished. The present paper examines social media posts taken from four users of Twitter and Instagram and aims at shedding light onto linguistic similarities and differences on the styles platforms. The focus is on platform-dependent features as well as on platform-independent features typical for each user (i.e., idiolectal features to be utilized in forensic authorship analysis). The dataset comprises 1.200 posts and is analyzed in terms of structural and CMC features, including sentence lengths and complexity, punctuation marks, emoji, hashtags, @mentions, and capitalization. The analysis shows that while the language used on Twitter does indeed differ from the language used on Instagram, some features are also potentially stable across the platforms, suggesting the existence of different registers. Further analyses will have to investigate a larger corpus to test the reliability of the results.</p>
