Subject: Book Series “Language, Discourse & Mental Health''

 
The new book series ''Language, Discourse and Mental Health'' (University of
Exeter Press) is a unique resource to further knowledge and understanding of
mental health from a pluralistically informed linguistic perspective. 

Using qualitative and quantitative approaches to language-based analysis, the
empirical and theoretical contributions will provide a compelling insight on
mental health from a range of perspectives and contexts, including
psychotherapeutic communication, public presentations of mental health,
literary accounts of lived experiences, and language features associated with
specific mental health problems. This interdisciplinary book series will be an
essential reference for students, researchers and practitioners in linguistics
and communication, education, cognitive science, psychology, counselling and
psychotherapy, special needs, medicine, nursing, and medical anthropology.

Scope of the Book Series:

The book series is framed in terms of linguistic perspectives that
differentiate between communication about mental health (i.e., language
performance or use), and the communication of individuals with mental health
problems (i.e., language competence or systems) in real-world and research
contexts. Such a focus is anticipated to be captured through the following
linguistic perspectives: sociolinguistics and sociocultural linguistics,
cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics, literary linguistics and
stylistics. These can be applied through a range of language-based
methodologies, including qualitative methods (e.g., discourse analysis,
conversation analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, narrative
analysis, thematic analysis), quantitative methods (e.g., corpus-based
approaches, quantitative content analysis), and also experimental methods.

Call for Book Proposals:

The book series ''Language, Discourse and Mental Health'' is accepting book
proposals for monographs and edited volumes. To discuss your book proposal,
please contact the book series editors. 

The book series will launch in spring 2019.

Please distribute widely.
