"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. "
