Mental health is a matter of vital importance in today's society,
with the news media reporting on the topic on an almost daily
basis. Despite this, the language associated with mental health has
to date been relatively under-explored. Using methods from corpus
linguistics and critical discourse analysis, this pioneering book
is the first large-scale linguistic investigation of UK news
reports on mental illness. Based on a purpose-built corpus of 45
million words of UK press reports on mental illness, it offers a
range of analyses exploring language development across time, in
addition to focusing on the differences between press
representations of specific mental illnesses. The book provides
linguistic insights into public perceptions of mental illness, as
well as stigma creation and perpetuation in the media. It also
includes original and significant methodological innovations,
making it a vital resource for researchers for in corpus
linguistics, health communication, and the health humanities.
