CorpusCast is the podcast about corpus linguistics and what it can do for society.

Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education.

Dr Love's guest this time is Elena Semino. She is Director of the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) at Lancaster University, which provides insights into the use and manipulation of language in society in a host of areas of pressing concern, including education, hate crime and communication about health and illness.

Elena’s work on cancer and end of life care was published in the 2018 book Metaphor, Cancer and the End of Life (with Zsófia Demjén, Andrew Hardie, Sheila Payne and Paul Rayson).
