This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While lying has been a topic in the philosophy of language, there has been a lack of genuine linguistic analysis of lying. Exploring lying at the semantics-pragmatics interface, this book takes a contextualist stand by arguing that untruthful implicatures and presuppositions are part of the total signification of the act of lying.
