A comprehensive corpus analysis of adolescent health communication
is long overdue - and this book provides it. We know comparatively
little about the language adolescents use to articulate their
health concerns, and discourse analysis of their choices can shed
light on their attitudes towards and beliefs about health and
illness. This book interrogates a two million word corpus of
messages posted by adolescents to an online health forum. It adopts
a mixed method corpus approach to health communication, combining
both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Analysis in this way
gives voice to an age group whose subjective experiences of illness
have often been marginalized or simply overlooked in favour of the
concerns of older populations.
