Abstract:

In The Language of Fraud Cases, Roger Shuy follows the now well-established
format of his previous volumes on language and law. He discusses here eight
cases that he himself has consulted on, and that illustrate how linguistics
can help to solve the various problems that arise in trying to define
fraudulent language in the context of law. He examines speech events, schemas,
agendas, speech acts, conversational strategies, as well as smaller language
units such as sentences, phrases, words, and sounds, and discusses how these
can play a major role in deciding fraud cases. The cases chosen for this
volume hinge on recorded language evidence, making them particularly relevant
for linguistic analysis, and include cases of government contracts, EPA
regulations, foreign corrupt business practices, trade secrets, money
laundering, securities trading, art theft, and price fixing. Through his
examination of these cases, Shuy demonstrates the significant contribution of
linguistic analytical methodology to the understanding of language evidence
and its success in revealing willful uses of fraudulent language to achieve
financial gain.
