Abstract:

"Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics introduces" and integrates key research
concepts, principles and techniques in ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted
discourse study, answering foundational questions for researchers new to the
discipline and asserting the urgent need to expand its scope.

Breaking new ground, the book analyzes under-explored environmental discourses
that have a tangible impact on ecological wellbeing and sustainability by
perpetuating harmful attitudes, practices and ideologies. Chapters present
in-depth case studies, including an analysis of the evolving representations
of "wilderness", an eco-stylistic analysis of a popular novel, and an
investigation of the use of humor in reports on animal escapes from
slaughterhouses. The studies employ a range of corpus analysis techniques to
show how ecological degradation and crisis have become normalized, and even
trivialized, in popular discourse but also spaces where positive discourse
practices are present.

By applying tools from corpus linguistics to a diverse range of environmental
discourses, this book makes a significant contribution to advancing the field
of ecolinguistics.
