Summary
Initially discussed by classical philosophers, the topic of deception is currently garnering more and more interest not only from contemporary philosophers but also from linguists working in the fields of semantics and pragmatics (both theoretical and experimental). Deception studies can significantly benefit from the merging of philosophy and linguistics. Albeit best defined with the use of philosophical notions, lying and other forms of deception are communicative, often linguistic, phenomena and can be explained with linguistic apparatus and illustrated with specimens of discourse.
