This sentence is false.

Who is sending this message?

I am black.
I am six years old.
I am an orphan.
I am African.
I am poor.
I am a liar.

The first five sentences in this speech bubble provide information that helps us to form a picture of the individual who are think is sending the message. The information tells us who the person is, how old they are, where they come from and what their life is.

However, the last sentence seems anomalous, and may lead us to ask certain questions. Is this a message from a child who lies about certain things? Is the whole message a lie? Is this a genuine message? Or is it just a fictional piece of dialogue?

Is this sentence lying?

Is it something hard to tell where the truth ends and lies begin. That may be true of this sentence. Or it may not be.

So what is a lie? A lie is a claim that is literally false. It is, therefore, unlike a factual description, which is true. These, we call them Surface message, Underlying Message, Modality and Intention.
