Arguments in favour of authentic and fabricated suicide notes as indistinguishable textsGrundlingh, Lezandra 06 1900 (has links)
Analyses of suicide notes have been conducted from varied perspectives in both linguistics and
psychology. Not only have these studies added considerable value to the study of suicide, but they
have also enriched the field of forensic linguistics. By analysing suicide notes, researchers are able
to speculate about the state of mind of a suicidal individual from a psychological perspective, as
well as gain insights into the characteristics of this genre from a linguistic perspective. Studies of
suicide notes that are most relevant to forensic linguistics are those that compare authentic and
fabricated suicide notes to determine whether these types of suicide notes may be distinguished
from one another. Although the literature on suicide notes includes multiple studies that consider
the differences between authentic and fabricated suicide notes, none seems to consider the fact that
there might not be distinct differences between these types of suicide notes. Past studies also do
not seem to consider that it might not be possible to determine whether a single suicide note is
authentic or not. The present study fills this gap by considering authentic and fabricated suicide
notes as indistinguishable texts. In this study, appraisal theory is used as the main theory of
linguistic analysis to prove that authentic and fabricated suicide notes do not have distinct
linguistic characteristics that can be used to differentiate them and that aiming to authenticate
suicide notes might be a very risky and problematic undertaking. The results indicate that based
on the theories and methods discussed in this thesis, it is not possible to successfully distinguish
between authentic and fabricated suicide notes. It appears that, overall, the suicide notes included
here would be more suited to analyses aimed at determining authorship identification or
verification than analyses aimed at authenticating suicide notes. Accordingly, the study contributes
not only to research concerned with the analysis of suicide notes but also to that concerned with
forensic linguistics. Furthermore, the study includes analyses of South African suicide notes, and
specifically Afrikaans suicide notes, which has not been attempted in previous research. / Tshekatsheko ya mangwalo ao a ngwadilwego ke batho ba go ipolaya e dirilwe go tswa mahlakoreng ao a fapanego ka go bobedi dithutapolelo le dithutamahlale tsa menagano.

ngokwemiqondo eyehlukahlukene ngezindlela ezimbili ngokwelingwistiki nangokwengqondo.
Izifundo zocwaningo azikhulisanga kuphela ukubaluleka kocwaningo olumayelana
nokuzikhunga kuphela, kodwa ziphinde zanothisa umkhakha weforensiki yelingwistiki.
Ngokuhlaziya amanothi amayelana nocwaningo, abacwaningi bayakwazi ukwenza umhlahlo
ngesimo somqondo womuntu ozikhungayo ngokomqondo wezengqondo, kanye nangokuzuza
ulwazi olumayelana nezimpawu zalo mkhakha ngokomqondo welingwistiki. Izimfundo
ezimayelana namanothi ashiywa ngabantu abazibulalayo ahlobene kakhulu neforensiki
yelingwistiki yilawo aqhathanisa amanothi okuzibulala oqobo nalawo angamanothimbumbulu,
ukucacisa kahle ukuthi mhlawumbe lezi zinhlobo zamanothi angahlukaniswa kwamanye. Yize
umbhalo wobuciko omayelana namanothi okuzibulala axuba izimfundo zocwaningo eziningi
ezigxile kwimehluko ephakathi kwamanothi okuzibulala oqobo nalawo okuzakhela/ambumbulu,
akhekho obheka udaba lokuthi kungahle kungabi khona umehluko ogqamile phakathi kwalezi
zinhlobo zamanothi okuzibulala. Izimfundo zocwaningo zesikhathi esedlule nazo azilubheki
udaba lokuthi angekhe kwenzeka ukuthi kutholakale ukuthi mhlawumbe inothi lokuzibulala
ngabe elangempela noma yinothimbumbulu. Isifundo samanje sivala lesi sikhala ngokuthatha
amanothi angempela namanothimbumbulu njengemibhalo engahlukaniseki. Kulesi sifundo
socwaningo, ithiyori yokuhlola isetshenziswe njengethiyori eyinsika yokuhlaziya ilingwistiki
ukukhombisa ukuthi amanothi okuzibulala angempela nalawo okuzakhela akanazo izimpawu
ezibaphawulekayo ezingasetshenziswa ukuwehlukanisa kanti lokho kuqonde ukuqinisekisa
ukuthi amanothi okuzibulala kungenzeka abe wumsebenzi onobungozi obukhulu kanye nenkinga
enkulu. Imiphumela ikhombisa ukuthi ngokwamathiyori nangezindlela ezixoxwe kule thiyori,
kunzima ukuphumelela uthole umehluko phakathi mwamanothi angempela nalawo ambumbulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuyakhombisa ukuthi, amanothi okuzibulala aqukethwe lapha
azohambisana kakhulu nolwazi oluhlaziyiwe oluqonde ukuthola umnini wenothi noma
ukuqinisekisa kunolwazi oluhlaziyiwe oluhlose ukuqinisekisa umbhali wamanothi okuzibulala.
Ngokosiko lwakhona, isifundo asifakanga kuphela igalelo kucwaningo kuphela ngokuhlaziya
amanothi okuzibulala, kanti lokho futhi kumayelana neforensiki yelingwistiki. Ngaphezu
kwalokho, ucwaningo luqukethe ulwazi oluhlaziyiwe lwamanothi okuzibulala eNingizimu
Afrika, ikakhulu amanothi okuzibulala abhalwe ngesiBhunu, angakazwe alokothwe kucwaningo
lwesikhathi esedlule. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / Ph. D. (Forensic Linguistics)
