The research in this chapter builds on previous work investigating the interplay between health and climate change in EU institutional discourse (Bevitori and Russo 2023, Russo and Bevitori 2024). Drawing on theories and methodologies of corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis, the chapter provides an in-depth analysis of discursive framings of (poly)crisis in order to shed new light on the interrelation between climate and health in EU political communication. As emerging concepts, polycrisis and permacrisis provide interpretative lens for a deeper understanding of crisis as a rhetorical construct in the EU discursive space. Keywords: EU political communication, climate, health, polycrisis, permacrisis

Abstract

The research in this chapter builds on previous work investigating the interplay between health and climate change in EU institutional discourse (Bevitori and Russo 2023, Russo and Bevitori 2024). Drawing on theories and methodologies of corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis, the chapter provides an in-depth analysis of discursive framings of (poly)crisis in order to shed new light on the interrelation between climate and health in EU political communication. As emerging concepts, polycrisis and permacrisis provide interpretative lens for a deeper understanding of crisis as a rhetorical construct in the EU discursive space. Keywords: EU political communication, climate, health, polycrisis, permacrisis
