The language of lying | Noah Zandan | TED-Ed Animation

We’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect lies--from medieval torture devices to polygraph tests--but in the TED-Ed animation on “The language of lying,” Zandan suggests a more direct approach: analyzing the lies themselves. Zandan draws from a technology from the communication science field, called linguistic text analysis, which has helped identify four common patterns in the subconscious language of deception. Discover how to separate truth from fiction--a powerful skill that you’ll want to use at the negotiation table and beyond.
