PhD research
Thesis title: Cognitive linguistic approaches to discourse and menopause.
Marleen's project examines the role of language used in primary care interactions between doctors and menopausal patients. Rooted in cognitive linguistic approaches to health communication and discourse analysis, the study will identify and analyse prevalent linguistic features of such consultations. It will empirically test the effects of these features on patients to gauge the social and emotional impact of medical intervention on lived menopause experiences.
Principal supervisor: Professor Gabriella Rundblad.
Secondary supervisor: Dr Chris Tang.
