Welcome back!
At this point, we’ve covered a good amount of ground on the basics of healthcare discourse analysis.
Namely we’ve talked about how linguistics:
- is integral to good market understanding,
- can shape understanding with footing and alignment
- has rules that we can break or follow
But what about power and control?
In this next Ling 101 mini-lesson, we take a look at a component of discourse analysis that you might have heard of- agency. In this video, we share how patients and physicians use agency to describe actions and thoughts, and even who or what may have the power.
Can you think of a time where you’ve heard an HCP or patient use a form of agency?
