📖 ‘Small is Beautiful’ in English mass media texts on sustainable development
✍️ Nataliia Goshylyk
This article analyses the conceptual metaphors of quality, quantity and direction in sustainable development discourse. The research applies the ecolinguistic paradigm, focusing on the interrelations between language and environment and emphasizing their interdependence. These conceptual metaphors not only frame and are framed by the discourse, but are also discourse generating entities. The topic of growthism, which is entrenched in the conceptual metaphors in focus, has so far been analysed only from the lexical point of view, and the dynamic character of the conceptual metaphors which activate the growth frames has not yet been considered. My research looks at big and small from an interdisciplinary perspective with the linguistic foundation being the priority. It argues in favour of the coexistence of controversial notions in sustainable development discourse. This type of discourse, which is sometimes rather confusing and requires both definition and content clarification, is based on the combination of natural surroundings and socioeconomic issues. It addresses the conflicting topics of environment and development and is shaped by the controversial conceptual metaphors which are the focus of my research.

📖 Solar energy discourse in the Sunshine State
✍️ Prisca Augustyn
This case study of a 2016 Florida constitutional amendment analyses the semiotic devices and mechanisms of shaping public opinion on solar energy and beliefs about energy distribution. After a nationwide rise in rooftop solar installations between 2014 and 2015, utilities in several US states were faced with challenges to their business models. Anticipating similar problems in Florida, utilities and energy corporations promoted constitutional amendments. This semiotic analysis follows the voter from the billboards and flyers to the text on the ballot. Starting from Peirce’s phenomenological categories, this critical analysis of the campaign reveals how the goals of the amendment were shrouded in positive environmental and consumer protection narratives. Lakoff ’s cognitive linguistics and Stibbe’s ecolinguistics support a deeper analysis of the ballot text. This study shows that by leaving key concepts (especially net metering) out of the discourse, the ballot text successfully framed an anti-solar amendment as a pro-consumer measure, while hiding the direct legal implications concerning alternative energy distribution. In particular, this study explains the opposition to the sharing of surplus in the context of neoclassical economics as a key factor in shaping beliefs about alternative energy distribution.

📖 رابطۀ ساختارشکنانۀ فرهنگ و طبیعت: نقدی بوم‌گرایانه بر چند سروده از سهراب سپهری
✍️ نوذر نیازی
نقد بوم‌گرا بحران‌های بوم‌زیستی معاصر را در نگرش اومانیستی (انسان‌محور) و تقابل میان فرهنگ و طبیعت می‌بیند. به همین دلیل، طبیعت از منظر این رویکرد ادبی نه صرفاً موضوعی زیباشناسانه، بلکه واقعیتی مهم و حیاتی تلقی شده و تعهد اخلاقی نویسنده نسبت به طبیعت و صیانت از آن را یک اصل می‌داند. سپهری از تأثیرگذاران شعر معاصر است که در درازنای دهه‌ها به عنوان شاعری طبیعت‌گرا و بدون توجه ویژه به گرایشات بوم‌گرایانه‌اش به بوتۀ نقد گذاشته شده است. این در حالی است که شاعر با برهم زدن ساختار تقابلی فرهنگ/ طبیعت با رویکردی بوم‌گرایانه در بسیاری از سروده‌هایش بر رابطه‌ای تعاملی میان این دو پدیده تأکید دارد. بر همین اساس، پژوهش پیش رو با رویکردی توصیفی- تحلیلی ضمن نمایاندن این تقابل‌ها در چند سرودۀ مشهور شاعر، به واکاوی آنها در این چارچوب نقدی می‌پردازد. یافته‌های پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که سپهری با مردود دانستن برتری فرهنگ در نگرش اومانیستی و ارائۀ نگرش خاص خویش به طبیعت از دریچۀ بوم‌شناسی ژرف‌نگر و بازشناساندن جایگاه انسان در آن سعی در اصلاح نگرش و رویکرد مخاطب نسبت به طبیعت و برقراری رابطه‌ای تعاملی با آن دارد.

📖 National identities, non-human animals and climate change: How to dismantle the discourses that govern our lives
✍️ Diego L. Forte
Climate justice involves social and discursive practices shaped by representations deeply rooted in the common sense of societies. Different conditions of social life lead to categorize in different ways the term, including and excluding features according to convenience, necessity, proximity, etc. In this process, our representation of the world plays a central role. As citizens of modern countries, our lives are constrained by different discourses. The most important ones are national stories: they not only define the identity of the Nation but our identity as citizens. In this commentary, I examine how, relatedly, ideologies of national identity can promote or detract from decolonial climate action and I also suggest some links between climate justices and anti-hegemonic movements.

📖 The Stories We Live By and the stories we won’t stand by: Measuring the impact of a free online course in ecolinguistics
✍️ Mariana Roccia; Jessica Iubini-Hampton
Current dominant narratives of economic growth, consumerism, and anthropocentric views on human existence, to name a few, are behind the driving forces responsible for the increasing destruction of the very own ecological systems that all life depends on. By utilizing tools of Discourse Analysis while adopting an ecological perspective, the free online course The Stories We Live By (TSWLB) offers a practical and accessible framework in which stories can be critically evaluated, questioned, and resisted. Crucially, students are encouraged to apply their newly acquired theoretical insights to search for alternative stories to live by. While current approaches of impact assessment beyond academia can be measured more readily in the sciences, it is harder to assess whether, how, and to what extent humanities research produces change in society; arguably, the digital format of the course adds to the complexity of assessing its impact. In this article, the authors aim to draw attention on the inherent value of the dissemination of traditional academic tools beyond academia. By combining both qualitative and quantitative methodologies in relation to the free online course TSWLB as a case study, the article provides an innovative tool to effectively measure impact which renders itself suitable for a wider range of disciplines across both traditional and digital humanities.

📖 Ecology, physics, process philosophies, Buddhism, Daoism, and language: A case study of William Golding’s The Inheritors and Pincher Martin
✍️ Andrew Goatly
Much has been written about the ecological perspectives of Buddhism and Daoism, as examples of philosophies which emphasize process, impermanence, interconnectedness, and compassion for nature. And the interconnectedness of the various elements of the biosphere and the Earth’s crust is the basis of ecological Gaia theory. Some physicists and process philosophers have drawn attention to the inadequacies of European languages to represent the world of quantum reality, radical undifferentiated wholeness and interconnectedness, and the dynamism and uncontrollability of the material world. Notable among these were physicists David Bohm and David Peat, who looked to Blackfoot, an Algonquin language of North America, for a better representation of the natural world as interacting processes.
This article explores some of the commonalities between Buddhism/Daoism, process philosophies, modern physics and ecological theory. It then addresses the question of the affordances different languages and grammars provide for a deep ecological representation in tune with quantum physics and Buddhism/Daoism. The climax of the article starts with the work of Michael Halliday on the local grammar of William Golding’s The Inheritors (Golding, William. 1961 [1955]. The Inheritors. London: Faber), and performs a similar grammatical analysis of two passages from Golding’s later work Pincher Martin (Golding, William. 1956. Pincher Martin. London: Faber). It concludes that the Neanderthal mind style and life style in The Inheritors and the world of the drowning Pincher Martin are represented in a grammatical style more appropriate for a Buddhist/Daoist/quantum physics/deep ecological worldview of human interaction with the natural world.

📖 Dirty or clean? Frameworks for waste
✍️ Annabelle Mooney
The language used to talk about waste reveals the structuring stories and frames that are used by waste professionals. The data analysed in this paper demonstrate that waste is framed in relation to business and economics, the environment and nature, and in relation to cultural norms about dirt and matter being out of place. More generally, the language of waste focusses on value(s), systems and cycles. In this paper, I analyse the language used by waste professionals in Seattle, Washington to identify the different frames through which waste is seen. Close comparison of these discursive frames reveals their absences and tensions, especially in relation to business and environmental understandings of waste. In addition to documenting these frames, I argue that a distinction between use value and exchange value is important in the field of waste as it helps to distinguish between waste as a commodity and waste as a (natural) resource. I further argue that by considering different conceptions of time (natural, cultural and individual), it becomes possible to see the kinds of actions that need to be taken in order to deal with waste. Finally, by reflecting on recent changes in attitudes to plastic waste, arguably caused by a media event, I suggest that the frames themselves may be useful in reminding and reframing our relationship with waste.

📖 Abagusii traditional environmental knowledge and HIV/AIDS management: Implications for English language teaching
✍️ Geoffrey Mokua Maroko et al.
Multidisciplinary and multisectoral interventions are necessary for the management of chronic conditions such as HIV/AIDS. One such intervention is the promotion of socially responsible teaching. Anchored within an eclectic theoretical framework involving traditional environmental knowledge, the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, and Vygotsky’s theory of thought, language and culture, this paper analyses the link between Abagusii traditional environmental knowledge and management of HIV/AIDS. Seven groups of people living with HIV/AIDS were engaged in focus group discussions on the management of HIV/AIDS treatment adherence through sustainable production and use of natural products. The paper reveals that the Abagusii have rich ecological knowledge on the production and use of natural products, which could improve treatment outcomes of people living with HIV/AIDS. This ecological knowledge can be harnessed, documented and ploughed into ELT materials for English Language Teaching. A three-tier ELT framework comprising classroom activities, integrated tasks and practical actions could be adopted for teaching integrated English in interesting ways while at the same time restoring the environment, food sufficiency and health.
