This book reflects the cutting edge in ecostylistic approaches to
nature, the environment and sustainability as represented in
contemporary non-literary discourse. Firstly, the book presents the
ecolinguistic and stylistic terms and theories applied in this
ecostylistic analysis (ecosophy, beneficial, ambivalent and
destructive discourses; and foregrounding, point of view,
metaphor), and reviews the most recent literature in the field of
ecostylistics. Secondly, the book examines the occurrences of five
marker words (nature, environment, ecosystem, ecology,
sustainability) on the websites of five environmental organisations
and agencies (Forestry England, Greenpeace International, National
Park Service, Navdanya International, World Wide Fund for Nature).
The main research purpose of this study is to identify beneficial
discourses in the environet and to investigate the beneficial
ecostylistic strategies utilised to produce them. Above all, this
book reminds us humans that we do not stand apart from nature: we
are a part of it. The book will be of interest to scholars of
stylistics, ecolinguistics and ecocriticism, as well as scholars of
discourse analysis, environmental communication and environmental
humanities.
