Description

Explore the linguistic mechanics of criminal investigations with Shuy: The Language of (P) Confession, Interrogation and Deception. Written by Roger W. Shuy, known as the father of forensic linguistics, this work offers a practical explanation of how confessions are formed and how deceptive language functions during interrogation events. Building on the model established in his 1993 work, Language Crimes, Shuy examines the specific ways language is used within criminal confessions. Through the analysis of numerous interrogation transcripts, this book investigates how constitutional rights are protected, the role of suggestibility, and the patterns of consistency and truthfulness in spoken testimony. This empirical linguistics text provides a deep look into the language used in the confession event.
