does the terrm ' liar' imply that the speaker knows the information is false?

Answer 1

Yes. The person lying has to know they are lying, otherwise they're just passing on bad information.

Answer 2

I would have to say, not necessarily. It would depend on the circumstances. For example: A person reads something on the internet that is false but he/she repeats as the truth, without first verifying it. That person is guilty of a lie. The same thing would apply to repeating something someone said that is a lie without making an attempt to verify the information. That person also is guilty of a lie.

The Bush administration repeatedly lied about weapons of mass destruction. They took unverified information from unreliable sources and repeated it as the truth and went to war because of it. They did not want not to believe it. They wanted an excuse to invade Iraq. They are bald faced liers.

Answer 3

It can mean that but it can mean other things too....the speaker might not know the information is false, he might just recongnize a lie in the way someones talking, their eyes, tone of voice, hand signals, etc....overall ' liar' is generally when someone thinks the other person is not telling the 'truth'.......did u understand that?

Answer 4

I feel in some cases this is true. But there are also people who feel a lie is the truth, as in a pathological liar, in which people think what they are saying is the truth.

Answer 5

Yes. It means the person is fully aware that his words are false. Otherwise you would just accuse that person of being wrong!!

Answer 6

I would agree. There is the connotation the person does know they're intentionally giving what might not be the right picture.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
