Introduction:
Internet fraud has become a major concern for individuals and organizations worldwide. The rise of the internet has created new opportunities for fraudsters to exploit unsuspecting victims. Fraudulent activities on the internet have increased significantly, and it is estimated that billions of dollars are lost annually due to online scams. This literature review focuses on discourse analysis based on fraudulent dialogue in relation to internet fraud.
Theory of Linguistic Adaptation:
The theory of linguistic adaptation suggests that language is constantly evolving and adapting to new contexts. In the case of internet fraud, scammers use various linguistic strategies to adapt their language to different situations and audiences. These strategies include using persuasive language, emotional appeals, and technical jargon.
Discourse Analysis Based on Fraudulent Dialogue:
Discourse analysis is a method used by linguists to study how people use language in social contexts. In relation to internet fraud, discourse analysis can be used to analyze fraudulent dialogues between scammers and their victims.
One study conducted by Whitty (2013) analyzed 100 fraudulent emails sent by scammers posing as Nigerian officials requesting financial assistance from recipients. The study found that scammers used various linguistic strategies such as flattery, urgency, promises of rewards or threats if recipients did not comply with their requests.
Another study conducted by Kavanagh et al., (2017) analyzed online dating scams where scammers posed as potential romantic partners seeking money from victims under false pretenses. The study found that these scams were characterized by the use of emotional appeals such as love bombing or expressing vulnerability while also using technical jargon related to financial transactions.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, discourse analysis based on fraudulent dialogue provides valuable insights into how scammers adapt their language when engaging with potential victims online. Understanding these linguistic strategies can help individuals recognize warning signs associated with online scams and avoid becoming a victim themselves. Additionally, this knowledge can inform law enforcement efforts aimed at preventing internet fraud through targeted interventions designed to disrupt the linguistic strategies employed by scammers.
