Abstract:

Communication is central to the experience of illness and the
provision of healthcare. This book showcases the insights that can be
gained into health communication by means of corpus linguistics – the
computer-aided linguistic analysis of large datasets of naturally
occurring language use known as 'corpora'. The book takes readers
through the stages that they must go through to carry out corpus
linguistic research on health communication, from formulating research
questions to disseminating findings to interested stakeholders. It
helps readers anticipate and deal with different kinds of challenges
they may encounter, and shows the variety of applications of the
methods discussed, from interactions in Accident and Emergency
departments, to online discussions of mental illness, and press
representations of obesity. Providing the reader with a wide range of
clear case studies, it makes the relevant methods and findings
accessible, engaging and inspiring. This title is also available open
access on Cambridge Core.
