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.
