Malcolm Coulthard 教授来邮件推荐了一个重要的网站链接：“法律语言分析国际暑期学校”。该校创建很早，只是没有固定的网站，仅仅借用某些大学的相关网页报道一些学校的运作情况。现在该校建立了自己的网站，而且里面的内容都是比较新的，而且是比较权威的，必将成为国际法律语言学届的一块重要的信息平台。网址如下：

“法律语言分析国际暑期学校”由 Prof. Malcolm Coulthard 于2000年创建，提供法律语言学相关课程，宏观介绍法律语言学相关情况，以满足人们学习法律语言学的需求。该课程为进一步研究法律语言学奠定坚实的基础。
网站上引用 Shuy, R. W. 的一句话：
What a linguist, through the application of the tools of discourse analysis, can see in a conversation is similar to what a doctor can see in an X-ray. （语言学家，以话语分析为工具，在对话里所看到的，和医生在X光下所看到很相似）
以下是学校概况：
ABOUT ISSFLA
The International Summer School in Forensic Linguistic Analysis was created by Prof. Malcolm Coulthard in 2000 in response to a growing demand for a course affording an overview of forensic linguistics while also laying solid foundations for a further study of this relatively new branch of applied linguistics.
The School’s first edition took place at Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge and was followed by three more events in Birmingham. The fifth edition took place in Lodz, Poland, in September 2005. This year the School is coming back to Britain; the four-day event will take place at Aston University from 18th to 21st September 2006. Please follow this link for more information.
The School addresses subjects within the broadly defined discipline of forensic linguistics, including the structure of legal language, forensic authorship attribution, copyright issues, plagiarism and its detection, and forensic phonetics. We work with authentic language data and use real cases to illustrate theory. We opt for maximum student involvement and encourage inquisition and debate.
Each year we invite world-renowned scholars to be our guest tutors. This gives the participants the unique opportunity to interact directly with those responsible for recent developments in the field of language and the law and forensic linguistics. Apart from being professional linguists, all of our tutors have first-hand experience of acting as expert witnesses in courts of law.
