Abstract:

Integrating aspects of Chinese culture with modern theories of
language, this book puts forward a new approach to ecolinguistics:
harmonious discourse analysis (HDA).
Supplementing existing approaches to eco-discourse analysis, HDA aims
to diversify the landscape of ecolinguistic studies by promoting
cultural inclusiveness and ecological education. While enabling
readers to embrace alternative approaches and discourses in the
analysis of a variety of Chinese-context-based examples, it equally
facilitates understanding of the tradition and development of
ecological ideas in China and expands the sphere to examine East-West
dialogues of ecolinguistics.
Divided into two parts, the book first introduces the theory of HDA
before moving on to an investigation of its application. This includes
the analysis of nature poems and media discourses, an exploration of
China's ecological development, a consideration of ecological
education, and examples of the ecological wisdom and practices of
ethnic minorities in China.
