- Corpus, Discourse and Mental Health, a 106,000-word monograph, presents findings from three related studies of online support groups. Data collection from these online communities required longitudinal observation of participants’ communicative practices and collation of an extensive volume of textual data. These datasets were explored through a combination of quantitative corpus-based methods and qualitative discourse analysis, and interpreted in the light of sociological research on medicalisation and neoliberalism. Their combined findings advance critical arguments regarding experiences of long-term mental illness, the relationships between stigma, medical information and personal responsibility, and the value of corpus linguistic techniques for analysing health communication data.
