A Healthcare Symposium - Making use of language in healthcare: an applied perspective through corpus linguistics

How can researchers and health professionals make use of the linguistic data they may have been collecting, even inadvertently? Patient and general public forums, feedback reports, and other forms of text around health can provide important insights by opening up a direct connection to patients and laypeople. One approach to this work comes from corpus linguistics and the 4 expert speakers and rapporteur all have extensive applied experience in the field in the area of healthcare. Through talks, discussions, and a workshop, this symposium will provide an overview and some initial experience in addressing these areas.
