Linguistic Methods to Detect Lies

Abstract

The present manuscript mainly introduces three linguistic methods to detect lies, namely Handwriting Analysis, Voice Stress Analysis, and Non-Verbal Analysis and the application of these linguistic deception detection approaches in various fields, such as law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and forensic context. These major deception detection techniques are illustrated by examples based on graphology, psycho-physiological stress response, and non-verbal communication studies.
