Detecting Verbal Signs of Lying:
Speech Patterns
You might notice a higher pitch in tone, stuttering, clearing the throat and frequent pauses. The person might use filler words such as "uh, er, oh" and "um" during moments of hesitation as lies are put together. Liars also will cut out contractions, using "was not" instead of "wasn't" or "did not" rather than "didn't". It's also typical for a person to get tongue-tied and lose his thoughts in mid-sentence.
Repeating Questions
As lies are formulated, the person needs time to think. Instead of giving you a straight answer, you might hear your question repeated back to you or notice a slight pause between answers. The person might also ask you to repeat the question you just asked, even though you know he heard you the first time. These are tactics that liars use to buy time before responding.
Denial
Defensive behavior, denial and trying to make the other person feel guilty might also be used as the liar tries to create empathy. You might hear things like, "I would never lie" as the person tries to convince you he's innocent. Most people caught in the act of lying will flat out deny it and even become angry. Everyone tells lies sometimes, so anyone who says they "never lie" is probably lying.
Changing the Subject or Story
A swift subject change is another of the verbal signs of lying. The person might also tell a story that lacks detail. If the story you are hearing starts to change or you are hearing different things at different times, this is a strong indication of lying. Liars will also contradict themselves, making statements that don't completely make sense. If you begin to feel suspicious, press on asking questions and looking for details that don't fit together.
Unwillingness to Cooperate
Liars do not want to be found out and will be significantly more uncooperative than someone who is telling the truth. As you push the person to tell you more, there are more opportunities to slip up, and you might detect frustration or anger. You'll likely hear complaints, negative statements and multiple protests from a liar.
