Abstract:

Becoming effective hunters of manipulative communicative moves is far from an
easy capacity to develop. This book aims at offering a guide to the most
dangerous traps of deceptive language as triggered by implicit communication
strategies such as presupposition, implicature, topicalization and vague
expressions. A look at different contexts of language use highlights some of
the most remarkable implications of using indirect speech and of how it
affects the correct comprehension of a message. Within the remit of
communication and pragmatics studies, this work marks an advancement in the
direction of delving into the linguistic manifestations of manipulative
discourse, its most common contexts of use and the educational paths that can
be undertaken to master it in everyday interactions.
