Abstract:
In this study, Richard Alexander presents a series of original and
empirically based case studies of the language and discourse involved in
the discussion of environmental and ecological issues. Relying upon a
variety of different text types and genres - including company websites,
advertisements, press articles, speeches and lectures - Alexander
interrogates how in the media, press, corporate and activist circles
language is employed to argue for and propagate selected positions on the
growing ecological crisis. For example, he asks: How are ecological and
environmental concerns articulated in texts? What do we learn about
ecological 'problems' through texts from differing sources? What language
features accompany ecological discourse in differing contexts and
registers? Attention is especially directed at where this discourse comes
into contact with business, economic and political concerns.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
