Publisher's Synopsis

This is an analysis of the use of clinical language (the language of sickness), which Dr. Anderson calls "Sick English," to describe events and situations that have nothing to do with illness. She studied this medicalized English as it is used in newspapers published in the U.S., the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
