Abstract:

Mental health is a matter of vital importance in today's society, with the
news media reporting on the topic on an almost daily basis. Despite this, the
language associated with mental health has to date been relatively
under-explored. Using methods from corpus linguistics and critical discourse
analysis, this pioneering book is the first large-scale linguistic
investigation of UK news reports on mental illness. Based on a purpose-built
corpus of 45 million words of UK press reports on mental illness, it offers a
range of analyses exploring language development across time, in addition to
focusing on the differences between press representations of specific mental
illnesses. The book provides linguistic insights into public perceptions of
mental illness, as well as stigma creation and perpetuation in the media. It
also includes original and significant methodological innovations, making it a
vital resource for researchers for in corpus linguistics, health
communication, and the health humanities.
