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.
