📖 The year’s work in ecolinguistics 2022
✍️ Changchen Ha
Many important results were achieved in ecolinguistic studies in 2022. This article reviews ecolinguistic studies in 2022, which aims to shed light on the future research directions. It consists of two main themes. First, studies are reviewed in terms of research areas, conferences, monographs, and journals. Then, based on the above results, issues are summarized and trends are predicted for the next phase of ecolinguistic studies. The review shows that the research scope of ecolinguistics has gradually developed from micro to macro. In addition, many academic conferences on ecological issues were held worldwide, and several publishing houses and journals published dedicated volumes and issues on ecolinguistics. It is suggested that ecolinguistic studies in the future should pay attention to the following points: continuing to emphasize the significance of ecolinguistics in the framework of linguistics, clarifying the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary attributes of ecolinguistics, and strengthening inquiries into issues such as ecological literacy, ecological awareness, and ecosophy.

📖 Ecolinguistics and AI: Integrating eco-awareness in natural language processing
✍️ Jorge Vallego
This paper intends to demonstrate the importance of integrating ecolinguistics into the development of ethical AI frameworks, particularly in the context of natural language processing (NLP) models. With the rapid advancements in generative AI development, such as ChatGPT, there is an increasing risk of perpetuating harmful narratives and ideologies. By incorporating ecolinguistics principles into AI training and feedback, we can help create models that better align with values of well-being, environmental caring, and social justice. We present ChatGPT as a case study, discussing opportunities for reframing narratives in each of its training stages: statistical learning, supervised learning, and reinforcement learning by human feedback. This paper aims to raise awareness of the relevance of ecolinguistics in AI development and inspire the creation of more responsible NLP models for the future.

📖 Spatial co-occurrence of species and language in biodiverse regions: A golden opportunity for conservation
✍️ Ian Connolly; Maria Beger; Janet C. E. Watson
Contemporary Earth is facing a dual-extinction crisis; biologists estimate annual losses of species at least 1000 times that of historic background rates, whilst linguists predict up to 90% of languages could become extinct by the end of the century. Prior research has noted a tendency for biological and linguistic diversity to co-occur in time and space, giving rise to the notion of biocultural diversity. Here we use updated datasets to explore the co-occurrence of biological and linguistic diversity both globally and in those regions which hold the greatest wealth of current biological stock: biodiversity hotspots and high biodiversity wilderness areas. A Biocultural Index was subsequently developed to highlight which regions held the richest biocultural stockpile. Then the cited drivers of biological and linguistic decline were analysed to provide modern-day context to the index. Results indicate that the pattern between language and species is marked: these biodiverse regions account for 62% of investigated languages and 86% of investigated species over just 24% of terrestrial land. Statistical tests for correlation were significant both within and outside biodiverse regions. Reasons for the co-occurrence are complex and seemingly vary between regions, although the strong geographic concordance between language and biodiversity signals some functional connection and opportunity for synergistic conservation. The association between cultural and biological diversity is a golden opportunity for conservation: there is prospect for double payoff when protecting humanity’s last biocultural treasure troves if knowledge is combined between linguists, biologists, and the local people who rely on the very lands undergoing the largest changes.

📖 Eco-critical language awareness for English language teaching (ELT): Promoting justice, wellbeing, and sustainability in the classroom
✍️ Marco A. Micalay-Hurtado; Robert Poole
Critical Language Awareness (CLA) seeks to promote social justice by explicitly calling attention to power issues in the context of literacy development and language instruction. In this article, we assert that a CLA approach to English language teaching (ELT) which does not recognize and account for the urgency of climate change and its myriad effects on present and future generations of learners is flawed. It is time ELT extends a critical lens to the role that our practices and pedagogies serve in the (re)production of attitudes, ideologies, identities, and actions which contribute to ecological degradation and climate crisis while also engaging how we may advance ecological wellbeing and sustainability. This article outlines the rationale for this ecolinguistics-informed CLA (eco-CLA) approach to English language instruction by asserting the compatibility of ecolinguistics and CLA and the intersection of social, linguistic, and environmental justice. It then presents and discusses five principles for an eco-CLA approach to ELT that can be applied to a range of language learning contexts. Finally, it demonstrates how these principles can be operationalized within ELT by presenting a series of instructional activities.

📖 Ecolinguistics: History, today, and tomorrow
✍️ Hermine Penz; Alwin Fill
Since the concept of ecology was first applied to language over 50 years ago, the field of ecolinguistics has developed into a thriving branch of linguistics that is more than ever closer to the pressing issues of our time. This article aims to trace the historical development of ecolinguistics, discusses the main trends in current research, and provides a brief projection of potential future developments. The first part includes an overview of research connected to Einar Haugen’s article “Ecology of Language”, published in 1972, which focuses on the interaction between languages in multilingual contexts. A large part of the article is then devoted to the role of language in dealing with environmental problems (e.g. aggravating or solving them), which is the biological understanding of ecology in the study of language inspired by Halliday’s 1990 talk “New Ways of Meaning: The Challenge to Applied Linguistics”. Ecolinguistics will certainly have an interesting future. It will take up topics such as climate change, which surprisingly has largely been excluded from ecolinguistic research until recently. Other topics that need to be dealt with are the negative effects of tourism, the migration of human, plant, and animal populations. Ecolinguists, in the future, will also expand their methodology towards multimodal research and study how non-European languages present the ‘environment’, or rather ‘con-vironment’.
