Representing Schizophrenia in the Media: A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

Part of the Routledge Applied Corpus Linguistics series
See all formats and editions

  • Evaluates the extent to which media representations are accurate and the extent to which they are potentially helpful or harmful towards people living with schizophrenia
  • Employs a bottom-up approach guided by linguistic patterns, such as collocates and keywords, identified by corpus software
  • Contributes to the de-stigmatization of schizophrenic disorder by unveiling some of the widespread misconceptions surrounding it
  • Applies a mixed-methods approach in order to expose attitudes and beliefs found 'between the lines' - values and assumptions which are often implicit in the way language is used and therefore not visible to the naked eye
  • The findings of this monograph will be relevant to advanced students and researchers of health communication, corpus linguistics and applied linguistics and will also carry importance for journalists and mental health practitioners
