Meeting Description:

The constant evolution of online media and web technologies can be seen to
influence all walks of life, modifying traditional practices and social
relations. The effect of this evolution can be seen in the sphere of health
communication as well. It is reflected in the availability of new ways to
communicate and new channels of interaction and dissemination of medical
knowledge. A further change involves the democratization of health knowledge,
the availability of medical information for laypersons, and the general
increase in health awareness and health knowledge levels. These changes
contribute to the modification of the established roles and relations between
medical experts on the one side and patients/laypersons on the other, and to
the emergence of new discursive practices.

Our session aims to bring together linguists, discourse analysts and
communication scholars exploring various facets of online health communication
and medical discourse. The session is conceived as a discussion forum for
participants who adopt diverse research perspectives, including discourse
analysis, conversation analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, media studies,
multimodality, social semiotics, and psychology.  

Suggested areas of scholarly discussion include, but are not limited to, the
following: 
- Health communication in online contexts  
- Doctor-patient interaction in online contexts 
- Textual and multimodal identity creation in online health communication  
- Health narratives in online settings 
- Epistemic negotiation in online health communication 
- (Un)certainty of medical knowledge 
- Evaluation in online medical discourse 
- Evolution of medical genres 
- Reconfiguration and recontextualization of expert knowledge in online
contexts 
- Popularization of medical knowledge  
- Cross-linguistic differences in online health communication practices


Call for Papers:

If you would like to participate in the session, please submit your proposals
for 20-minute papers (app. 200 words) together with short biographical notes
(up to 100 words) via the submission portal at: https://april.confer.uj.edu.pl
