Gerald R. McMenamin, a professor emeritus from the Department of Linguistics, authored the first forensic linguistics course book written entirely in Spanish using data from Spanish-language cases.

Introducción a la Lingüística Forense is a textbook for college courses in forensic linguistics — the application of linguistic concepts, methods and insights to the forensic context of law, crime investigation and trial and judicial procedure.

McMenamin, who taught at Fresno State from 1980 to 2013, has also created a companion website that works as an additional resource for the book.

Published through The Press at California State University, Fresno, McMenamin’s book is available on Amazon.com and Amazon Europe.
