Recenzje

“Corpus Linguistics for Health Communication: A Guide for Research is a highly informative and accessible introduction to health communication and corpus linguistics. The book is both practically and theoretically focused, covering a refreshingly wide range of health communication genres, including spoken, written, and digital health discourse. The book teems with fascinating insights into health language. I will be recommending it to all my students.” Kevin Harvey, University of Nottingham (UK) 

 

“Corpus Linguistics for Health Communication: A Guide for Research provides essential reading for new researchers, allowing them to sample studies applying corpus methods to a wide range of discourse domains. Yet with its in-depth and critical coverage of both corpus linguistics and health care communication, it is also sure to be useful for more seasoned researchers in these areas too.” Shelley Staples, University of Arizona (USA)
