Abstract Forensic speech science is the application of speech analysis methods to forensic recordings; in many jurisdictions this is predominantly the application of sociophonetics. Sociophonetics and forensic speech science have developed as independent research areas with their own aims, methodologies and identities, and the gap between the fields has arguably grown bigger in recent years. Yet, there is much to be gained for both fields from closer collaboration through sharing methods, data, and knowledge. We will argue that this is more important now given the increasing demands on forensic science to more rigorously and empirically test and validate methods, and current trends in sociophonetics towards understanding how different linguistic variables are used by speakers to enact different identities in different situations. In this paper, we review the relationship between sociophonetics and forensic speech science. We also outline how developments in both fields can, and do, directly contribute to improving the quality of forensic voice evidence, as well as informing theoretical and practical aspects of sociophonetics.

跨社会语音学和法医语音科学共享创新的方法，数据和知识

摘要法医学语音科学是语音分析方法在法医学录音中的应用。在许多辖区，这主要是社会语音学的应用。社会语音学和法医语音科学已经发展成为具有自己的目标，方法和身份的独立研究领域，并且近年来，这些领域之间的差距可以说越来越大。但是，通过共享方法，数据和知识进行更紧密的协作，这两个领域都将收获很多。我们将认为，鉴于对法医学进行更严格和经验性的测试和验证方法的需求不断增加，以及社会语音学当前的趋势，即说话者如何使用不同的语言变量来在不同的情况下表现不同的身份，这一点现在显得尤为重要。在本文中，我们回顾了社会语音学与法医语音科学之间的关系。我们还将概述这两个领域的发展如何能够并且确实会直接有助于提高法证语音证据的质量，并为社会语音学提供理论和实践方面的信息。
