AB This dissertation is a linguistic analysis of various patient information leaflets concerning both the rhetorical organisation from a move-based approach and the lexical choices, regarding verb processes, verb tenses and personal pronouns. A quantitative analysis was carried out using corpus software AntConc in order to analyse said lexical choices, alongside a manual analysis in order to extract said rhetoric organisation. Although there have been studies on patient information leaflets, few analyse the aspects included within this dissertation. The results of this analysis confirm the effectiveness of these patient information leaflets in providing clear and concise information to patients.
