Language, Corpus and Empowerment applies a novel corpus-driven approach to the exploration of the concept of empowerment in healthcare. Using data from a video intervention delivered to families of deaf children, the author proposes a method for finding evidence of empowerment in language use, as well as assessing the effects of the intervention on the family. This new methodology provides a valuable development in assessing 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.
