A corpus-based exploration of sociological theories
Focusing on the intersection of social science theories and language, this book explores how concepts like risk society and culture of fear manifest in print news media. Through a corpus-based analysis, the authors examine the evolution of risk-related terminology, revealing insights into societal perceptions and the linguistic shifts that accompany changing attitudes towards risk. This investigation highlights the role of media in shaping public discourse around risk and its implications for understanding contemporary societal dynamics.
This book investigates to what extent claims of common social science risk theories such as risk society, governmentality, risk and culture, risk colonisation and culture of fear are reflected in linguistic changes in print news media.
