On the identification marks of manuscript texts relating to the judicial process

Abstract

This article analyses the identification features of handwritten
texts related to the judicial investigation process. In particular, the grammatical,
lexical-semantic and stylistic features of handwritten texts whose
author is unknown have been analysed. In today’s world of developing
information technologies, the problem of identifying the author of a text
by analysing different parts of a handwritten text is increasing. In order
to study the document, it is necessary to have complete and reliable information
about the persons connected with it and its creation, and to use a
comprehensive approach. For this reason, when researching manuscript
texts, it is permissible to distinguish between general and private signs
of identification. When studying handwritten texts, it is possible to determine
various information, such as the author’s psychological state, age and
type of profession. The forensic examination of manuscripts distinguishes
between general and special signs of written language. This makes it possible
to determine and evaluate the lexical, grammatical and stylistic characteristics of the author of the text. This helps the expert to discover common
aspects about the author.
