Summary

"Language, Signs and Nature: Ecolinguistic Dimensions of Environmental Discourse is both a Festschrift for Alwin Fill and at the same time an up-to-date survey of recent trends in research in Ecolinguistics, a relatively new and interdisciplinary field of research in linguistics. The volume brings together theoretical work and applied analyses on the interaction between language and its cultural and natural environment by prominent researchers. It covers a wide range of topics including cultural evolution, natural signs and sign-world-systems, the ecology of grammar, the discourse of biodiversity, the construction of the world through discourse by the anti-green movement and intelligent design creationism, the metaphorical framing of epidemics, etc. The book will thus be of interest not only to the ecolinguistic community, but also to the neighbouring fields of environmental studies, human geography, discourse analysis, semiotics, public policy, and linguistics in general."--Back cover.
