APPLYING LINGUISTICS IN HEALTH RESEARCH EDUCATI...

Researchers in applied linguistics have found medical and health contexts to be fertile grounds
for study  from macro-levels of conceptual analyses to micro-levels of the turn-by-turn. The
rich array of health contexts include medical research itself  clinical encounters  medical
education and training  caregivers and patients in everyday life - from the formal and
ritualized to the ad hoc and ephemeral. This volume foregrounds the crucial role of applied
linguists addressing real world problems  while simultaneously highlighting the varied ways
that health can be understood as a rich site of language inquiry in its own right. Chapters
cover a range of health topics including medical training  medical interaction  disability in
education  health policy analysis and recommendations  multidisciplinary research teams  and
medical ethics. While reporting and reflecting on their specific topics in clinical and health
contexts  contributors also articulate their own hybrid identities as professional
collaborators in health research  education  and policy.
