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.
