Jolanta Antas is a Polish scientist and professor of linguistics at the Jagiellonian University of Kraków.

Antas it the head of the Institute of Theory of Communication at the Faculty of Polish Language and Literature of the Jagiellonian University. She conducts research on pragmatic and semantic aspects of negation and lying. With a team of associates, she's drafted a ground-breaking scientific study called “The map of Polish expressions”. Antas published two monographies on lying and negation called: "O mechanizmach negowania" (Kraków 1991), and "O kłamstwie i kłamaniu" (Kraków 1999).

"On Lies and Lying"

"O kłamstwie i kłamaniu" ("On Lies and Lying") is the first Polish book devoted entirely to the phenomenon of lying in the process of verbal communication. The subject is closely related to both logic and philosophy from within the realm of linguistics. The human strategies discussed include partial judgments, false conclusions, misleading silence, secrets, half-truths, compliments, white lies and nonverbal lies.
