Abstract:

There is undoubtedly considerable intellectual and methodological progress
evident in approaches to linguistics, from systemic and formal methods, to
post-Newtonian transpersonal, non-local models of meaning co-creation built
within contemporary language studies. Indeed, such changes are constant – the
20th century product orientation of linguistic research is currently being
complemented by ecolinguistic processes, with the linearity of scientific
perception and treatment being replaced by the dynamic and multispectral
approach of “ecological” theory. This book provides a richly detailed analysis
of this profound shift within contemporary language and communication
research. 

A particularly interesting facet of this volume is the proposal that the
architecture of the human organism is, transpersonally, in constant relation
with its immediate surroundings, as well as with non-local multilevel
surroundings. This connection is based not only on the cognitive connection of
minds or neurocognitive contacts with the nervous and sensual systems of
communicators, but on the multidimensional relationship between the manifold
communicative modalities living systems possess. Human communication is
embedded within a given local communicative situation, as well within the
global, non-local environment via the basic ontology of entanglement.

The human communicative process is always evolving as a result of the constant
fluctuations of life processes. Indeed, the conclusions presented in this
volume open up a new approach to present-day linguistics, that human language
is an essential life process.
