Abstract
Forensic phonetics is the application of auditory and acoustic analysis of speech/non-speech for legal purpose, where the central task is speaker identification or recognition. It is a long-established field of study but with relatively recent development in the discipline.There are many historical incidents where pronunciation and phonetic knowledge are used as a marker of identity, e.g. Gileadites used the word shibboleth to identify the Ephraimites; Dominican soldiers used the word parsley to identify Haitians in the Parsley massacre; and the challenge-response of Flash-Thunder-Welcome used by the US forces during World War II. In the presentation, I will talk through the major tasks that are involved in forensic phonetics and general approaches used in this field along with some case examples.
