Biographical note
Zsófia Demjén is Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at the Centre for Applied Linguistics, University College London, UK.A potent reminder of the practical applicability of linguistics to addressing real life problems in healthcare and health education. The volume is striking in the breadth of methods represented and in its international scope, reporting on work conducted in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and the USA. Most impressive, however, is that it speaks directly to healthcare professionals and health educators in language that reaches across disciplinary boundaries. It truly demonstrates how the role of Applied Linguistics has developed and matured since the early studies of doctor-patient communication nearly four decades ago.
Rodney H. Jones, Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Reading, United Kingdom
This collection will be of immense value to students and researchers interested in communication in healthcare, as well as to inter-professional researchers and practitioners. Co-authored by international leaders of the field, it is comprehensive, well-structured and systematic. We have all been waiting for a book like this.
