Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

This handbook brings together past and current research on all aspects of
lying and deception, with chapters
contributed by leading international experts in the field. We are confronted
daily with cases of lying, deception, bullshitting, and 'fake news', making it
imperative to understand how lying works, how it can be defined, and whether
it can be detected. A further important issue is whether lying should always
be considered a bad thing or if, in some cases, it is simply a useful
instrument of human cognition. This volume is the first to offer a
comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of these and other issues from the
combined perspectives of linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. Chapters
offer precise definitions of lying and its subtypes, and outline the range of
fields in which lying and deception play a role, from empirical lie detection
and the acquisition of lying to its role in fiction, metaphor, and humour.
They also describe the tools and approaches that are used by scholars
researching lying and deception, such as questionnaire studies, EEG,
neuroimaging, and the polygraph.

The volume will be an essential reference for students and researchers in a
range of fields who are looking to deepen their understanding of all aspects
of lying and deception, and will contribute to establishing the vibrant new
field of interdisciplinary lying research.
