Beskrivning

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, itequally 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.

Recensioner i media

This volume is the culmination of intense theoretical and empirical development in Chinese ecolinguistics. The result is groundbreaking. Firmly rooted in ancient and contemporary Chinese philosophy, Harmonious Discourse Analysis both contributes to and challenges mainstream ecolinguistics. Cutting-edge and uncompromising, this volume will provoke some – but is a must-read for all ecolinguists!
