From Cognitivism to Ecologism in Language Studies

Recent decades of studies have been human-centred while zooming in on cognition, verbal choices and performance. (...) and] have provided interesting results, but which often veer towards quantity rather than quality findings. The new reality, however, requires new directions that move towards a humanism that is rooted in holism, stressing that a living organism needs to refocus in order to see the self as a part of a vast ecosystem.

This volume is a collection of eight chapters by different authors focusing on ecolinguistics. It is preceded by a preface (..) underlin ing] the presence of ecolinguistics as a newly-born linguistic theory and practice, something that explains the mosaic of content and method in the various chapters, with a more coherent approach being the aim for future research.
