Abstract:

The original studies in this volume provide new insights into the history of
medical discourse across centuries in both professional and lay texts. The
central themes deal with changes in medical writing in various societal and
cultural contexts in search for best practices in corpus pragmatics for future
work. Some studies apply quantitative methods of corpus linguistics and
Digital Humanities, others adopt a qualitative, discourse-analytical
perspective, focusing on particular texts, authors or medical topics, or
specific functionally-defined discourse forms such as narratives. Quantitative
and qualitative approaches are mutually complementary and shed light on
different aspects of historical medical discourse. The methodologies aim at
establishing validity and reliability for pragmatic analysis, taking into
account relevant contextual factors and insights from other fields, such as
medical and social history, history of ideas, and science studies.
