The project aims to explore the linguistic strategies and methods used to communicate social, educational, and training topics related to sport and wellbeing in English. It involves creating a corpus of texts, including both written and oral educational material on sports and wellbeing, which will be analyzed using corpus linguistics tools and methodologies such as discourse analysis, conceptual metaphor theory, and framework analysis.
As part of the analysis, guidelines for best practices will be developed to ensure that specialist ideas and concepts are communicated in an accessible way to all, taking into account different types of audiences.
