Abstract:

This book presents the concerns, concepts and methodologies of
Ecological Discourse Analysis (EDA) based on the shared positions and
practices of previous undertakings of discourse analysis. EDA is
regarded as an emerging paradigm in discourse studies which undertakes
ecologically motivated study of discourses that influences ecological
relations.
The authors propose a multifaceted ecosophy that incorporates Chinese
ethical and philosophical traditions and ecological principles. The
ecosophy of 'Diversity and Harmony, Interaction and Co-existence'
describes the features of ecological dynamics, providing a basis for
the evaluation of the ecological meaning represented in discourses.
This ecosophy contributes to such efforts with its origin in Chinese
philosophies, therefore offering new opportunities for East-West
dialogues on ecological values.
An ecogrammar built on Systemic Functional Linguistics is provided as
the analytical tool and is applied in the analysis of textbooks, news
reports and advertisements. The book also examines the provision of
EDA for other fields of study, inspiring research possibilities that
are beneficial for an ecological future and inspiring
interdisciplinary and multi-methodological studies to be integrated
with EDA.
