Abstract:

Regions of the world with greatest biodiversity are shown to exhibit greatest
linguistic diversity, strongly suggesting that the relationship between
language and ecology is both symbiotic and spatially and temporally
determined. This volume examines the expressions of, and threats and
challenges to, this relationship in southern and eastern Arabia.

Exploring the ways in which indigenous languages reflect the close
relationship between people and their natural environment, this book presents
an overview of the key threats and challenges, and introduces the
methodologies used to investigate them. Across the chapters, case studies are
presented dealing with language, gesture and ecology, the significance of
naming, the role of narratives in the language–ecology relationship, and
conservation and revitalisation of bio-cultural diversity in Arabia. Taking a
multidisciplinary view, this book argues for the central role that language
plays in facing the challenges and threats to bio-cultural diversity, and
presents methods for the study of the language–nature relationship that can be
applied globally.
