exclusive words

The act of lying is cognitively difficult because it involves fabricating information. This cognitive difficulty
can manifest itself linguistically through a decrease in exclusive words and an increase in motion words. Exclusive
words, such as “except,” “without,” “but,” differentiate between what belongs to a category and what does not, a
cognitively demanding task. By contrast, motion words such as “walk,” “move,” and “go” represent simple, concrete
actions that are easy to string together.

Two categories of function words have been specifically identified as markers of cognitive complexity: exclusive words and motion words. Exclusive words are made up of prepositions and conjunctions such as ‘‘but,’’ ‘‘except,’’ and ‘‘without.’’ Conceptually, these words differentiate between what belongs to a category and what does not, a cognitively demanding task for the already cognitively taxed liars. Liars also find it more complicated to invent what was not done versus what was done. Several studies have reported that deceptive accounts contain fewer exclusive words.
