Abstract:

In times of crisis, how do people conceptualise and communicate their
experiences through different forms and channels? How can original research in
cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and crisis studies advance our
understanding of the ways in which we interact with and communicate about
crisis events? In answering these questions, this volume examines the unique
functions, features and applications of the metaphors and frames that emerge
from and give shape to crisis-related discourses. The chapters in this volume
present original concepts, approaches, authentic data and findings of crisis
discourses in a wide range of organisational, political and personal contexts
that affect a diverse body of language users and communities. This book will
appeal to a broad readership in linguistics, sociological studies, cognitive
sciences, crisis studies as well as language and communication researchers and
practitioners.
