The course will use data from actual cases taken from the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, U.S., State, and local police, and will discuss the path from investigation to prosecution in U.S. courts.

Topics include linguistic theory, the structure of meaning systems and their arbitrary nature, sociolinguistic analysis of variation in dialect and language, the apparent "sub-dialects" of American makes and females, gestures, intercultural communication, language and social organization, and the role of standard dialects, non-standard varieties, and slang in delineating social groups.
