The Language of Deception : A Discourse Analytical Study Hardback

Hardback

Description

Author Dariusz Galasinski employs a discourse analytical approach to the study of deception in The Language of Deception.

The book focuses on the deceptive messages themselves -- how language is used to deceive others and what kinds of linguistic devices are used. Galasinski develops a theory of deception based on his extensive study of debates and interviews of American and British politicians.

Actual exchanges such as the one in which a politician is asked the same question 14 times and evades it 14 times, provide fascinating insight into deceptive linguistic practices.
