传染病，如耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌和禽流感，最近已成为决策者和公众议程上的重要议题。虽然卫生和生物安全是疾病管理的首选方案，但决策者越来越认识到，在疾病爆发和流行期间，传播在保护人民方面发挥着关键作用。本文提出了一种基于语言的方法来理解公众对疾病的看法。作者基于隐喻分析和语料库语言学进行的健康语言研究表明，旅程，路径，阈值，边界和障碍的概念已成为利益相关者倡导基于卫生的风险和疾病管理的主要框架设备。这些框架为辩论提供了一个共同的基础，但导致了截然不同的看法和做法。这反过来可能成为现代世界全球疾病管理的障碍。
Infectious diseases, such as methicillin‐resistantStaphylococcus aureusand avian influenza, have recently been high on the agenda of policy makers and the public. Although hygiene and biosecurity are preferred options for disease management, policy makers have become increasingly aware of the critical role that communication assumes in protecting people during outbreaks and epidemics. This article makes the case for a language‐based approach to understanding the public perception of disease. Health language research carried out by the authors, based on metaphor analysis and corpus linguistics, has shown that concepts of journeys, pathways, thresholds, boundaries and barriers have emerged as principal framing devices used by stakeholders to advocate a hygiene based risk and disease management. These framings provide a common ground for debate, but lead to quite different perceptions and practices. This in turn might be a barrier to global disease management in a modern world.
