Full Description
Corpus Linguistic Approaches to Deception Detection provides an innovative introduction to the use of the corpus linguistics methodology in the field of deception detection.
Bringing together research from both forensic psychology and linguistics, this book uses traditional corpus-assisted methods to reconcile the different approaches used by these two fields and shows how "cues to deception" operate in their linguistic context. Arguing that current methods of analysis do not seem to be fit for purpose, this book shows the need for further development of context-sensitive methods to explore deceptive datasets.
This book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students in the fields of corpus linguistics, psychology, discourse analysis, and forensic linguistics.
