**Shortlisted for the 2021 BAAL Book Prize for an outstanding book
in the field of Applied Linguistics** Situated at the interface of
corpus linguistics and health communication, Corpus, Discourse and
Mental Health provides insights into the linguistic practices of
members of three online support communities as they describe their
experiences of living with and managing different mental health
problems, including anorexia nervosa, depression and diabulimia. In
examining contemporary health communication data, the book combines
quantitative corpus linguistic methods with qualitative discourse
analysis that draws upon recent theoretical insights from critical
health sociology. Using this mixed-methods approach, the analysis
identifies patterns and consistencies in the language used by
people experiencing psychological distress and their role in
realising varying representations of mental illness, diagnosis and
treatment. Far from being neutral accounts of suffering and
treating illness, corpus analysis illustrates that these
interactions are suffused with moral and ideological tensions
sufferers seek to collectively negotiate responsibility for the
onset and treatment of recalcitrant mental health problems.
Integrating corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis and
health sociology, this book showcases the capacity of linguistic
analysis for understanding mental health discourse as well as
critically exploring the potential of corpus linguistics to offer
an evidence-based approach to health communication research.
