Abstract
The article reviews the methods applied in the forensic linguistics from the perspective of modern forensic expertology. The author demonstrates that these methods form a system consisting of four components: universal method of cognition, general scientific, private scientific and special research methods. He also gives a brief description of the key methods: observation, description, experiment, modeling, definitional analysis, synonymic paraphrasing, semantic decomposition, contextual analysis, analysis of the modal organization of the sentence, semantic and pragmatic analysis of the speech act.
