This Element introduces the study of forensic linguistics, particularly in southern Africa, but also in Africa more generally. In the past six decades, there has been clear evidence that the discipline of forensic linguistics is, or was, unknown to general linguists, legal linguists, and applied linguists on the African continent. Now, however, the situation is rapidly changing, with forensic linguistics studies gaining momentum in various parts of Africa. In this Element the authors introduce t

This Element deals with the relationship between cognition, understood as the process of acquiring and developing knowledge, and diverse types of conspiracy theories, or short, 'CTs'. Section 1 lays the groundwork for the analysis by determining four components of narrative argumentative framing in CTs, of which the first three are constitutive for all CTs, with a fourth representing the 'optional' collective action-guiding “scenario” component. Section 2 exemplifies manifestations of these comp

This volume, led by two of the most eminent scholars in language contact, brings together an international team of authors to shed new light on Uniformitarianism in historical linguistics. Applying the Uniformitarian Principle to creoles and pidgins, as well as other languages, t

The modern era we are living in is marked by a significantly rapid pace of globalization and pervasive diffusion of technological advancements. These synergistic forces have effectively eradicated geographical barriers and forged what van Dijk (1991) and Castells (1996) refer to as the “network society,” which metamorphoses disparate national entities into an intricately interconnected tapestry of societies and cultures (Castells, 2000). The nature of this global structure places new, urgent dem

Disinformation is commonly discussed through a set of dominant narratives, such as the claim that we live in a post-factual era, that we are witnessing an unprecedented boom of disinformation and conspiracy theories, that disinformation is the main driver of societal polarization, or that language itself is losing its meanings. Regardless of the empirical validity of these narratives, disinformation and conspiracy theories have become a central topic across many scientific disciplines. The pr
