“Corpus Linguistic Approaches to Deception Detection offers a groundbreaking fusion of linguistic analysis and psychological insights. Employing innovative corpus-assisted techniques, the book critically examines deceptive language and brings a refreshing perspective to deception studies. It will prove invaluable for scholars in both linguistics and psychology and sets a new standard in the interdisciplinary exploration of deception detection.”
Willem B. Hollmann, Lancaster University, UK
"This book is recommended reading for anyone, lay person and professional, interested the language of deception.  Engaging and readable, Corpus Linguistic Approaches to Deception Detection brings to the heavily cognitive-based deception analysis a much-needed linguistic perspective, one that is grounded in linguistic theory and applying ecologically-valid analytical techniques from the linguist’s toolkit. More importantly, it highlights the complexity of deception construction within language and the part social background plays in it. "
