The Language of Deception

A Discourse Analytical Study

About this book

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.

The 
second 
domain, 
with 
which, 
again, 
I 
have 
predominantly 
engaged 
toward 
the 
end 
of
the
book, 
is 
the 
tenets 
and 
assumptions 
of 
critically 
oriented 
linguistics 
and 
discourse 
analysis 
(e.g., 
Hodge 
& 
Kress, 
1993), 
drawing 
heavily 
on 
func-
tional 
linguistics, 
most 
particularly 
that 
of 
Halliday 
(e.g., 
1994). 
I 
shall 
use 
this 
perspective 
particularly 
in 
Chapter 
7 
in 
the 
analysis 
of 
discursive 
representations 
of 
agency 
in 
evasive 
responses. 
Rather 
than 
presenting 
these 
perspectives 
in 
detail 
here, 
however, 
I 
hope 
to 
do 
it 
more 
usefully 
at 
those 
stages 
of 
my 
discus-
sion 
when 
they 
will 
be 
drawn 
on 
directly.
