Greenspeak : A Study of Environmental Discourse Hardback
by Rom Harre, Jens Brockmeier, Peter Muhlhausler
Hardback
Description
In this interdisciplinary examination of the discourse of environmentalism, the authors explore the linguistic, philosophical, psychological and cultural-historical aspects of environmental discourse; rather than environmental phenomena themselves.
This volume is not advocacy on environmentalism, rather, it is an analysis of the means of persuasion and the techniques of advocacy used by both sides of the environmental debate between `conservationists' and `conservatives'.
The book includes an analysis of the concepts of time and space in their linguistic manifestations.
Another theme is the interdependencies of the natural world with political and economic institutions.
