How we use automatic speaker comparison in forensic practice
Automatic methods are rapidly gaining ground in forensic speaker comparison, next to the existing auditory-acoustic methodology, performed by human experts with an academic background in phonetics. In this article we set out the steps that were taken before we could introduce the automatic method and start combining the two methods (software and human) in casework. We further provide a comprehensive explanation of the automatic method (originally…
Improving objectivity, balance and forensic fitness in Laap
This paper is a response to Yaron Matras's article ‘Duly verified? Language analysis in UK asylum applications of Syrian refugees’. Matras evaluates 50 reports by the Stockholm-based agency Verified AB. He introduces his own approach, which he calls ‘inductive-dialectological’, and claims that it addresses many of the problems in Verified's approach. We respond on a number of fronts. We interpret the role and duty of the expert performing languag…
Language analysis in the asylum procedure
There is a general call for more transparency on procedures involving language analysis in the asylum procedure. This article describes some characteristics of the caseload in the Netherlands, presenting insights into the internal and external factors that make reliable performance of language analyses feasible. It is argued that examination of claimed origin (for use in the asylum procedure) is different from determination of origin (for use in …
State-of-the-art in language analysis
Response to Peter L. Patrick (2012) Language Analysis for Determination of Origin: objective evidence for refugee status determination. In P. Tiersma and L. Solan (eds.) The Oxford Handbook of Language and Law. Oxford University Press, 533-546
Clarification of the issues in language analysis
Volume 18.1 (2011) of this journal presented two responses to my article ‘The role of linguists and native speakers in language analysis for the determination of speaker origin’, published in volume 17.1 (2010). Both Helen Fraser and Maaike Verrips pick up on eight cases presented in my article, and question whether these cases have any implications for the ‘Guidelines’. The responses compel me to bring forward a direct connection between the eig…
The role of linguists and native speakers in language analysis for the determination of speaker origin
In this paper, it is argued that proper conduction of Language Analysis for the Determination of the Origin of asylum seekers (LADO) requires not only linguistic expertise, but also the involvement of somebody with native competence in the language. Furthermore, awareness of the forensic aspects of LADO is crucial. Possible ways of combining native speaker competence and linguistic expertise are discussed. Eight cases are presented in which langu…
Current methods in forensic speaker identification
The field of forensic speaker identification is complicated by the use of a wide array of methods that are employed and it suffers from a lack of evaluation and validation of these different methods. This paper reports on the first internationally oriented collaborative exercise in this field. The main goal of this project was to document the different methods, analyses and reporting strategies that are currently being employed, and to have as ma…
Obtaining reference material in a case with two unknown speakers
The case reported below involves the verification of the identity of two speakers who made a number of intercepted telephone calls with one another. Two men, one Dutch and one Irish, were suspected of making the calls, which they denied. At the request of the defence a Dutch Court of Appeal commissioned the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), the forensic science laboratory of the Dutch Ministry of Justice, to conduct a comparative speech exami…
Arranging a voice lineup in a foreign language
Speaker identification by lay witnesses is an area that is still relatively unexplored. The volume of empirical research in this field contrasts sharply and unfavourably with the wealth of work reported in the literature on human identification in the visual domain. Nor is it clear that the findings of eyewitness research are sufficiently well known in forensic phonetic circles, in spite of their patent relevance to earwitness identification. Man…
