Semester spring semester 2021
Course frequency Irregular
Lecturers Miriam Locher (miriam.locher@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Content In this workshop based course we will explore the theoretical fields of computer-mediated language and health communication and then develop research question for this communicative interface. Throughout the course, students will analyze different data extracts of their choice derived from diverse e-health sites in English (e.g. peer-to-peer blog support sites; professional information sites; health insurance sites; health campaigns, etc.). The aim is to develop an understanding of how key concepts (e.g. expertise, trust, warranting strategies, relational work, narratives, etc.) interact. At the end of the course, students will present an outline of a project that could be written up as a paper.
Learning objectives Students learn about two research strands in linguistics (CMC and health) and gain experience in designing research projects.and analysing extracts of e-health data.
Bibliography PDFs of research articles are ready in the ADAM workspace.If you want a head-start, consult the program for the obligatory reading.
