Recensioner i media

“From the outset and throughout the book, readers are very well guided through the research process of conceptualisation, hypothesis formulation and discussion of empirical evidence. ... Moreover, it offers original insights on the study of diachronic developments of risk language and a fruitful empirical path for exploring connections between language and social change, thus opening new ground for further research.” (Maria Grazia Galantino, Health, Risk & Society, April, 2018)
