Book Synopsis The Linguistics of Lying And Other Essays by : Harald Weinrich
Book excerpt: Can language hide thoughts? This question is considered by one of Europe's most eminent scholars in his influential essay "Linguistics of Lying," presented here for the first time in English, along with additional essays selected by the author. His survey of the different ways in which language is untrue links linguistic and literary categories in unexpected fashion to anthropology, sociology, ethics, and even good manners.
