RISK IN THE NEW YORK TIMES (1987-2014) - JENS O...

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. The authors provide a corpus-based
investigation of risk words in The New York Times (1987-2014) and a case study of the health
domain. The book presents results from an interdisciplinary enterprise which combines
sociological risk theories with a systematic functional theory of language to conduct an
empirical analysis of linguistic patterns and social change. It will be of interest to students
and scholars interested in corpus linguistics and digital humanities  and social scientists
looking for new research strategies to examine long term social change.
