- Abstract
This study focuses on the constructional approach to the authenticity of the Casket Letters, the discovery of which helped Mary Stuart’s forced abdication. The originals disappeared, so the Letters’ authenticity can be judged only by the surviving copies which were repeatedly treated from different points of view: historical, psychological, etc. Analyzing the letters from the position of linguistics using the traditional statistical methods isn’t supposed to be justified because of their comparatively small size, but the method of grammatical analysis can be successfully applied to texts of rather a small size.
