Andreas Stokke presents a comprehensive study of lying and
insincere language use. He investigates how lying relates to other
forms of insincerity and explores the kinds of attitudes that go
with insincere uses of language. Part I develops an account of
insincerity as a linguistic phenomenon. Stokke provides a detailed
theory of the distinction between lying and speaking insincerely,
and accounts for the relationship between lying and deceiving. A
novel framework of assertion underpins the analysis of various
kinds of insincere speech, including false implicature and forms of
misleading with presuppositions, prosodic focus, and semantic
incompleteness. Part II sets out the relationship between what is
communicated and the speaker's attitudes. Stokke develops the view
of insincerity as a shallow phenomenon that is dependent on
conscious attitudes rather than deeper motivations. The various of
ways of speaking while being indifferent toward what one
communicates are covered, and the phenomenon of 'bullshitting' is
distinguished from lying and other forms of insincerity. Finally,
an account of insincere uses of interrogative, imperative, and
exclamative utterances is also given.
