Abstract:

Moving beyond a more traditional view of language as a discrete
sociocultural and cognitive entity that distorts our understanding of
surrounding ecologies, this book argues that the starting point for
ecolinguistics is an appreciation of language as not just about
nature, but of nature.

Exploring this conceptual change in the field, the book presents a
process view in which language is substituted by languaging,
emphasising the bioecologies that we cohabit with numerous other
species. It puts forward this perspective by looking at the
theoretical considerations behind the understanding of languaging as
bioecological, and through examining languaging in various contexts
and places. Drawing on examples from across the world, it addresses
topics such as climate catastrophes, corporate narratives, questions
of ecological leadership, the bioecological implications of the COVID
pandemic, and relational landscapes. It also makes use of data from
across multiple bioecological settings, including the dairy and
agricultural industries.
