Abstract:

An essential reference to the intersection of language and death and
dying, this book presents an overview of the methodologies, current
debates, history and future of research in language-related death
studies.
Adopting a highly interdisciplinary approach, the book explores a wide
variety of phenomena and contexts of death and dying, examining
language and discourse from linguistic, psychological, philosophical,
and anthropological perspectives, among others. Divided into three
parts, it considers three viewpoints from which death and dying can be
understood: first-person, second-person, and third-person. The
chapters cover an extensive array of topics, from presentations of
death within social media and news reports, through to specific
contexts of dying and types of death, including palliative care,
assisted dying, suicide, and COVID-19. They also engage with data from
across a range of national, cultural, and linguistic contexts,
offering a broad international perspective.
