{"product_id":"9780367870911","title":"Language, Corpus and Empowerment","description":"Language, Corpus and Empowerment applies a novel corpus-driven approach to the exploration of the concept of empowerment in healthcare. The book proposes an innovative corpus-based methodology for finding evidence of empowerment in language use, using data from a video intervention delivered to families of deaf children, as well as assessing the effects of the intervention on the family. Language, Corpus and Empowerment provides a working definition of empowerment which incorporates concepts from linguistics and learning theory;uses corpus analysis to provide evidence of how video interventions can transform people’s perspectives;examines this new methodology as a potential tool for analysing conversational data longitudinally and at a case-by-case level;demonstrates how a corpus-based methodological approach can be applied in conjunction with other language-based approaches, such as discourse analysis and conversation analysis, to explore the ways in which complex social processes occur in interaction;makes a valuable development in the assessment of the impact of healthcare interventions and the language of empowerment.Insightful and ground-breaking, Language, Corpus and Empowerment is essential reading for anyone undertaking research within corpus linguistics.","brand":"Luke Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45766687457598,"sku":"9780367870911","price":2637.07,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780367870911_b6f808b1-04eb-4386-9696-525864aa37f1.jpg?v=1707248588","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780367870911","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
