Description
Summary:While investigating possible misuse of the names «Russia», «Russian Federation» and their derivatives (including «Russian»), forensic linguists may encounter particular challenges when the questioned item is a word that includes the letter combination «ros», and the task of the examiner is to determine whether «ros» is shortened from the words «Russia» ([Rossiya]) or «Russian» ([Rossiiskii]) in legal names formed by abbreviation. The article examines some methodological issues associated with such investigations.
