Biography

Sofia Navarro Beck's research investigates the linguistic behaviors of individuals who groom minors online. Her overarching research question focuses on the linguistic strategies employed by groomers to expose minors to sexual content. This manipulative and illegal communicative practice poses a growing societal threat. Her work includes a digital conversation analysis project that aims to qualitatively study online grooming interactions from a linguistic perspective, contributing to the development of research-based prevention programs and resources for minors, parents, and educators to recognize grooming language. Additionally, she is interested in pseudoscience related to lie detection and credibility analysis within a forensic-linguistic context. Beck examines the ethical issues that arise when pseudoscientific language-analysis methods become prevalent in police work and institutional settings, exploring the unproven techniques that gain traction despite lacking scientific evidence.
