Language, Ecology and Society : A Dialectical Approach, Paperback / softback Book

Language, Ecology and Society : A Dialectical Approach Paperback / softback

Edited by Dr Joshua Nash, Sune Vork (University of Southern Denmark, Denmark.) Steffensen

Paperback / softback

Description

Language, Ecology and Society presents a view of language and ecology from a dialectical perspective.

In this analysis, language is seen as a multidimensional phenomenon, which both shapes and is shaped by mind, nature and society.

Contributing to the field of ecolinguistics, this volume proposes a new paradigm termed Dialectical Linguistics, pioneered by Jørgen Christian Bang and Jørgen Døør and based on research spanning three decades.

The book argues for a politically and morally responsible approach to language and linguistics. The book opens with an introduction by Sune Vork Steffensen outlining the theory of Dialectical Linguistics and the history of ecolinguistics and stressing the importance of Bang and Døør's contribution to this global movement.
