Statement Analysis of Deception Detection

Abstract

Deception detection can be achieved through the following linguistic method: Statement Analysis ® , which is illustrated by examples based mainly on the theories in lexicology, syntax, graphology, psychophysiology, kinesics, and cognition. The techniques are very significant to forensic context, business negotiation, job/school interview, and may be widely applied to law enforcement in crime investigation.

Linguistic Methods to Detect Lies

“…Lie detection, also known as deception detection, uses questioning techniques and technology to ascertain truth and falsehood in response (Wikipedia: "Lie Detection"). The previous studies of lie detection have been based on linguistic theories [1]- [12]. Some of these studies are mainly focused on verbal statement analysis [9]- [11] and written statement analysis [8] [12].…”

“…Others are dealing with how deception detection can be achieved through exploration of automatic methods [2]- [7]. The major detection techniques besides Statement Analysis ® [1] [9] [11], which will be mentioned in this thesis, are based on graphology, psycho-physiological stress response, and non-verbal communication studies. The techniques of graphology, psycho-physiological stress response, and non-verbal communication studies have been widely used in law enforcement in crime investigation, intelligence agencies, forensic trials, and other fields.…”
