Christina Higgins and Bonny Norton have brought together a remarkably diverse group of scholars who focus on the intersection of language and HIV/AIDS. The result is a stunningly vibrant volume, one that brims with insights based on qualitative analyses of a variety of public and private discourses from around the globe. _Language and HIV/AIDS_ is an outstanding example of the power of applied linguistics to illuminate critical real-world issues. A true treasure!
(Heidi Hamilton, Georgetown University, USA)While the existence of HIV/AIDS is sadly a global phenomenon, its significance is always local, personal, constructed and mediated through diverse networks both professional and intimate. Communication is central to these processes, yet too little attention has been paid as yet by researchers in applied linguistics to our understanding of both the disease and the workings of the networks themselves. This well-edited and coherent book takes up this challenge as its central motivation. Its diversity of authorship, site and focus will both greatly enhance our understanding of HIV/AIDS and further underscore the essential applied linguistic goal of ensuring practical relevance in its research.
(Christopher N Candlin, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia)Applied linguistics doesn’t get better than this.
(Gael Fonken, St Cloud State University Applied Linguistics (2010), First published online: December 8, 2010)This important volume initiates a necessary dialogue exploring the interrelationship between complex social issues that sit at the crux of policy, practice, development, health care, education, and medicine. The book presents a geographically, contextually, and methodologically diverse contribution to research on language and HIV/AIDS - one that is sensitive, complicated, valuable, and thought-provoking.
(Maureen T. Matarese, City University of New York, USA Discourse Studies, 13(3) 381-392, 2011)The discourses and levels of analysis in the book provide linguists and researchers in communication studies with a fresh glimpse into strategies in interpersonal, inter-group and official communication not only in offline face-to-face contexts but also in computer-mediated situations. This book is therefore a good companion for students and researchers interested in linguistic and communicative aspects of HIV/AIDS discourses.
