"Based on evidence": a discourse analysis of illnesses prevention

This study analyses the discourse of illnesses prevention, focusing on Unimed, a health insurance company. The corpus consists of four texts: two folders, an informative message that accompanies the invoices and a text published in the company's newsletter. The concepts adopted in the analysis derive from Discourse Analysis and from Rhetoric (the latter considered under a discursive view).

Discourse; ethos; topos; health insurance
