Lies And Falsification Study

Lies are focused because they are everywhere in our daily life. This paper tends to analyze lies with semantics and pragmatics theories—occasion meaning and social factors, especially combining with Cooperative Principle and Politeness Principles. The paper first introduces Popper's Falsification into lies study and then to analyze it using verbal and nonverbal language, including acquainted intonation, tone, manner of speaking, eye-contact, countenance, body language and emotion. All of these can not serve as the direct evidence of lies, but they are the track and can provide new correlative information. In addition, the paper also tries to reveal how we should distinguish lies and valuation. All of these make lie studies useful practical methods in lie detection. That is what we need nowadays and makes the study valuable.
