Language, Health and Culture brings together contributions by linguistic scholars working in the area of health communication in Asia—in particular, in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, Japan and Taiwan. Olga Zayts-Spence and Susan M. Bridges, along with the contributors, draw on a diverse range of authentic data from different (primary, secondary, digital) healthcare contexts across Asia. The contributions probe empirical analyses and meta-reflections on the empirical, epistemological and theoretical foundations of doing research on language and health communication in Asia. While many of the medical and technological advances originate from the ‘non-English-dominant’/‘peripheral’ contexts, when it comes to health communication, there is a strong tendency to downplay and marginalize the scope and the impact of the ripe research tradition in these contexts. The contributions to the edited volume problematize the hegemony of dominant (Anglocentric) traditions in health communication research by highlighting culture- and context-specific ways of interpreting different health realities through linguistic lenses.

This book brings together several prominent areas of concern for both the academic and the workplace practitioner to understand mental health in the Asian workplace. Drawing on the authors’ unique combined expertise in workplace psychology and sociolinguistics, the book presents a comprehensive theoretical background of mental health in Asia, with particular focus on workplace environments. It explores critical themes including stigma, the role of technology, and the experiences of women and young people in professional settings. This work presents original empirical findings gathered through a mixed-methods research design specifically developed by the authors to examine workplace mental health issues in depth. Leveraging their ongoing research agenda, the authors provide valuable implementation strategy suggestions to enhance workplace mental health practices, effectively bridging the gap between academic findings and practical applications. This is a book of interest to researchers and postgraduate students across psychology and sociolinguistics, as well as workplace professionals in communication, organizational management, human resources and well-being.
