In The Language of Fraud Cases, Roger Shuy follows the now
well-established format of his previous volumes on language and
law. He discusses here eight cases that he himself has consulted
on, and that illustrate how linguistics can help to solve the
various problems that arise in trying to define fraudulent language
in the context of law. He examines speech events, schemas, agendas,
speech acts, conversational strategies, as well as smaller language
units such as sentences, phrases, words, and sounds, and discusses
how these can play a major role in deciding fraud cases. The cases
chosen for this volume hinge on recorded language evidence, making
them particularly relevant for linguistic analysis, and include
cases of government contracts, EPA regulations, foreign corrupt
business practices, trade secrets, money laundering, securities
trading, art theft, and price fixing. Through his examination of
these cases, Shuy demonstrates the significant contribution of
linguistic analytical methodology to the understanding of language
evidence and its success in revealing willful uses of fraudulent
language to achieve financial gain.
