A comprehensive, state-of-the-art exploration of present domains and future directions of the field of ecolinguistics
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Ecolinguistics is a comprehensive guide focusing upon the expanding field of ecolinguistics and its investigations of the role of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species, and the more-than-human world. The collection explores topics such as climate change discourse, representations of plants and animals, relationships with land, ecotourism, language education in the Anthropocene and much more, in addition to comprehensive overviews of approaches and methods of analysis such as corpus-assisted discourse studies, econarrative, ecopoetics, ecostylistics, metaphor analysis, positive discourse analysis, and systemic functional linguistics. The chapters illustrate both the primary approaches to analysis within ecolinguistics while also surveying numerous domains in which ecolinguistics research is pursued.
With contributions from international scholars of diverse disciplinary backgrounds across ecolinguistics, applied linguistics, environmental communication, and the environmental humanities, this handbook is an essential text for those exploring the role of language and the part it plays in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species, and the natural world.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Ecolinguistics is destined to become a foundational reference for the field. Combining intellectual rigor, global perspectives, and a clear commitment to ecological justice, it offers a compelling vision of how language scholarship can contribute to sustaining life on Earth. -- Mohamed Mliless, Independent Researcher in Ecolinguistics & Legal Discourse Meknes, Morocc
A superb achievement: a handbook wholly devoted to language and the flourishing of life! Not only does it consolidate the discourse-analytic program within ecolinguistics, it also explores new horizons where transdisciplinary research, multispecies interactions, and decolonial knowledges expand the field’s boundaries. This handbook lays the ground for the future of ecolinguistics. -- Sune Vork Steffensen, Professor, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
This exciting handbook offers a very clear direction for ecolinguistics scholars and those seeking to become such, with a generous yet authoritative defining of the field. The highly engaging set of chapters, drawn from a wide range of international and inter-disciplinary contexts, provide multiple perspectives on ecolinguistic questions and demonstrate the breadth of this critically important field, in a time when more and more people are becoming aware of the role of language in ecological wellbeing – of humans and the more-than-human world. -- Clare Cunningham, Associate Professor, York St John University, UK
