    This reading report discusses how forensic linguistics was used to uncover J.K. Rowling's pseudonym. Forensic linguistics analyzes a writer's style and allowed experts to determine that J.K. Rowling had also written a mystery novel called The Cuckoo's Calling under a pseudonym. While technology has advanced forensic linguistics techniques, in the past it took longer to conduct investigations. The report provides an example of how an expert in text analysis and stylometry, Dr. Patrick Juola, was able to identify J.K. Rowling as the author of The Cuckoo's Calling, even though she wrote it under a different name in an attempt to publish it anonymously.

    How Did Computers Uncover J.K. Rowlings Pseudonym?

    In this article the author described about forensic linguistics, this is an investigative technique that helps experts determine a writers style; this technique was able to track J.K Rowling. She is a famous British writer who wrote Harry Potter. Years before, forensic linguists were not the necessary technology for this reason they delayed much more time, but now to do an investigation is very fast.

    Personal Opinion (Min. 50 words for 150-word summaries | Min. 100 words for 300-word summaries)

    In my opinion I think this was an interesting article, because forensic linguistics can use not only to track to criminals but also a rapists online, for example the investigative technique could be able to identify the person thanks to some particularities like sequences of adjacent words or sequences of characters; or also the most common words, like the authors preference for long or short words. While some characteristics and uses of forensic linguistics can help us decreasing the number of criminals we need to investigate other subjects because it is very common these types of crimes for example J.K. Rowlings case.
