The Routledge Handbook of Ecolinguistics by Alwin F Fill

This handbook is the first comprehensive overview of ecolinguistics or language ecology. It discusses language diversity, language minorities and language endangerment; the role of language and discourse in describing, hiding and helping to solve environmental problems; and argues for ecolinguistics as a pace-maker into a new scie

"We live in the world, and shape the world we live in, through the language we useEcolinguistics studies this relation between language and the world. Ecolinguists describe, but also critique, forms of language that create but may also threaten environments and languages. This book brings together the best in ecolinguistic scholarship and contains chapters that merge linguistic analysis with reflections on science, politics, philosophy and ethics. Anybody trying to understand our future life on this planet should find something interesting to read in this collection."
