  abstract: Ambiguity is commonly considered unintentional while deception is considered intentional. Here, Roger W. Shuy describes fifteen criminal cases in which police, prosecutors, and undercover agents used deceptive ambiguity with criminal suspects and defendants, many times giving evidence of being intentionally constructed through the manipulation of the speech events, schemas, agendas, speech acts, strategies, lexicon, and grammar. Although certain types of intentional deceptive ambiguity are central for successful undercover operations, the case examples in this book demonstrate how various type.
  table of contents: Introduction -- Power, ambiguity, and deception -- Police interviewers use deceptive ambiguity -- Prosecutors use deceptive ambiguity -- Undercover agents use deceptive ambiguity -- Cooperating witnesses use deceptive ambiguity -- Complainants use deceptive ambiguity -- Deceptive ambiguity in the language elements -- The effects, frequency, and power of the government's uses of deceptive ambiguity in criminal investigations.
