Subject: New book series: Bloomsbury Advances in Ecolinguistics- Call for contributions

 
Bloomsbury Advances in Ecolinguistics emerges at a time when businesses,
unions, universities and national governments are declaring an ecological
emergency. With climate change and biodiversity loss diminishing the ability
of the Earth to support life, business leaders, politicians and academics are
asking how their work can contribute to efforts to preserve the ecosystems
that life depends on.

This book series explores the role that linguistics can play in addressing the
great challenges faced by humanity and countless other species. Although
significant advances have been made in addressing social issues such as
racism, sexism and social justice, linguistics has typically focused on
oppression in human communities and overlooked other species and the wider
ecosystems that support life. This is despite the disproportionate impact of
ecological destruction on oppressed groups. In contrast, this book series
treats language as an intrinsic part of both human societies and wider
ecosystems. It explores the role that different areas of linguistic enquiry,
such as discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, language diversity and
cognitive linguistics can play at a time of ecological emergency.

The titles explore themes such as 
- the stories that underpin unequal and unsustainable industrial societies
- language contact and how linguistic imperialism threatens the ecological
wisdom embedded in endangered languages
- the use of linguistic analysis in ecocriticism, ecopsychology and other
ecological humanities and social sciences
- emerging theoretical frameworks such as Harmonious Discourse Analysis. 

The titles also look to cultures around the world for inspirational forms of
language that can lead to new stories to live by. In this way, the series
contributes to linguistic theory by placing language fully in its social and
ecological context, and to practical action by describing the role that
linguistics can play in addressing ecological issues.
