Abstract:

Situated at the interface of corpus linguistics and health communication,
"Corpus, Discourse and Mental Health" provides insights into the linguistic
practices of members of three online support communities as they describe
their experiences of living with and managing different mental health
problems, including anorexia nervosa, depression and diabulimia.

In examining contemporary health communication data, the book combines
quantitative corpus linguistic methods with qualitative discourse analysis
that draws upon recent theoretical insights from critical health sociology.
Using this mixed-methods approach, the analysis identifies patterns and
consistencies in the language used by people experiencing psychological
distress and their role in realising varying representations of mental
illness, diagnosis and treatment. Far from being neutral accounts of suffering
and treating illness, corpus analysis illustrates that these interactions are
suffused with moral and ideological tensions sufferers seek to collectively
negotiate responsibility for the onset and treatment of recalcitrant mental
health problems.

Integrating corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis and health
sociology, this book showcases the capacity of linguistic analysis for
understanding mental health discourse as well as critically exploring the
potential of corpus linguistics to offer an evidence-based approach to health
communication research.
