Description and Table of Contents
Description
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
