Résumé

The main aim of this paper is to present briefly how “fear” contributes to the construction ofdeception through the abovementioned narratives. We will take into account not only thelinguistic and psychological elements used to cause real fears in their recipients, but also thefake and real fears their senders may have, adding examples to our findings. We will payspecific attention to the influence of gender stereotypes in certain narratives where thesenders’ gender/ed identity was faked, and to the connection between spam e-mails andfairytales. The aim of this paper is to find out the relation between spam e-mails, fairytales andgender stereotypes regarding fear. Our analysis suggests a parallelism between the reproduction of gender stereotypes in the new communication tools and the same stereotypes found in traditional fairytales. We will focus on how fear connects spam and fairytales, and how this parallelism and the gender stereotypes found in both kinds of texts can take part in the linguistic mechanisms used by spammers to make their stories believable.
