Abstract

Each speaker has linguistic characteristics conditioned by the circumstances of contact. In forensic linguistics, applied linguistics, and corpus linguistics it is considered that regularity can be recognized as a specific modus operandi, and this usually corresponds to communities that share the same purpose, with equally precise subjects, and by means of specific linguistic strategies. In this article, an approach to a linguistic profile corresponding to potential sexual offenders of infants is carried out to obtain a constant linguistic behavior that subsequently allows its recognition in online conversations. The methodology used in this study is empirical and based on the natural language analysis proposed by Rayson's corpus linguistics. Through it, the linguistic behavior in online textual communication extracted from a corpus (with prior processing) is analyzed. It consists of five conversations, in which the lexical frequency was established to generate seventeen thematic modules. Finally, regularity was found in the first seven interventions, which points to a specific linguistic behavior: a linguistic profile that could lead to a timely recognition of online identities that represent a danger to children.
