Lying Structures in Persian Language as a Socio-Lingual Behavior

People lie in their everyday life, and this is a deniable fact. Like any other language, Persian has true and false structures. This research aims to study and analyze lying structures in Persian language. For this purpose, the relation of the application rate of “caution markers”, “negation markers”, “emotional words and verbs”, “exclusive words” and “pronouns” with the falsehood of sentences is studied. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical research design has been employed, and a sample of 28 male and female Persian-speaking individuals has been taken from the statistical population. To study the significance of the relation, Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and T-test have been applied.
The results of this research show that there is a reverse and significant relation between the use of caution markers, and exclusive words and the falsehood of sentences. That is, the more the number of caution markers, and exclusive words in a sentence is, the probability of the falsehood of that sentence is decreased. However, the relation of the negation markers, sense words and verbs, and pronouns with the falsehood of the sentences is direct and of significance. That is, the increase in the use of negation markers, sense verbs and words, as well as pronouns in a sentence increases its falsehood.
