Description: "Author Dariusz Galsinski 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. 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."--BOOK JACKET.
