Abstract:

Why is language so important to the ways that we make sense of
anxiety? This book uses corpus assisted discourse analysis to examine
twenty-three million words of text posted to a forum for people with
anxiety. It shows how linguistic techniques like catastrophisation and
anthropomorphisation can result in very different conceptualisations
of anxiety, as well as how aspects of identity like age, sex and
cultural background can impact on understandings of anxiety and how it
ought to be managed. It tracks the changing identities of posters,
from their first posts to their last, and incorporates a range of
corpus-based techniques to examine the language data, enabling
consideration of interaction between participants and features
associated with online forms of communication like emoji. It
ultimately provides a step towards a better understanding of different
responses to anxiety and aims to promote further engagement with this
topic in the field of applied linguistics.
