The author?examines topics including the role of power and persuasion,?the use of metaphor, the personal stories of members of the general public, and?the gendered real-life consequences of arbitrary weight standards?to provide a linguistic driven study?of obesity in news media.?Obesity is an issue which sits at the intersection of science and the humanities, and as such, although the research methods used are firmly situated within the field of Linguistics, this book will also be of interest to readers from fields as diverse as Sociology, Fat Studies, Media Studies, Medicine and Psychology.?. | | Pindex | Book 2023 |
