Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics: Bloomsbury Advances in Ecolinguistics

Autor Dr Robert Poole
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 dec 2023
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.

Recenzii

Offers a good introduction to the potential of applying corpus linguistic methods when pursuing ecolinguistic research ... As the book continually gives overviews and explanations of key concepts from both corpus linguistics and ecolinguistics, it is suitable for readers from both linguistic fields - or any other area of linguistics.
This text aims to expand the scope of ecolinguistic scholarship. At its heart are several valuable case studies. The case studies apply a variety of corpus-assisted methods and tools to the analysis of text types which are often overlooked as sources of ecolinguistic insight. Yet, Dr Poole demonstrates that such analyses can be extremely productive. Readers with interests in environmental studies, ecolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and/or discourse studies can find inspiration in this book.
This wide ranging book includes copious examples of both existing research and original investigations. With careful attention to theory and method throughout, Poole presents an impressive overview of different areas of study, clearly illustrating the potential for a complementary relationship between ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted discourse analysis.
