Signs Show the Way: Reading HIV Prevention on the Andaman Islands -- Author Index -- Subject IndexThis volume focuses on the role of language in the construction of knowledge about HIV/AIDS in diverse regions of the world. The collection of studies yields helpful insights about the discursive construction of this knowledge in both formal and informal contexts, while demonstrating how the tools of applied linguistics can be exercised to reveal a deeper understanding of the production and dissemination of this knowledge. The authors use a range of qualitative methodologies to critically explore the role of language and discourse in educational contexts in which various and sometimes competing forms of knowledge about HIV/AIDS are constructed. They draw on various forms of discourse analysis, ethnography, and social semiotics to interpret meaning-making practices in HIV/AIDS education in Australia, Cambodia, Burkina Faso, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, and Uganda.Critical language and literacy studies.Language and medicineApplied linguisticsHIV infectionsPreventionCross-cultural studiesHIV infectionsPreventionStudy and teachingAIDS (Disease)PreventionCross-cultural studiesAIDS (Disease)PreventionStudy and teachingSociolinguisticsCommunication studies.Discourse analysis.Ethnography.HIV/AIDS discourses.HIV/AIDS education .HIV/AIDS prevention.Health literacies.Social semiotics .Language and medicine.Applied linguistics.HIV infectionsPreventionHIV infectionsPreventionStudy and teaching.AIDS (Disease)PreventionAIDS (Disease)PreventionStudy and teaching.Sociolinguistics.362.19697920014ER 990BVBrvkHiggins Christina1641768Norton Bonny1956-290552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823459403321Language and HIV4093874UNINA
