On Friday I'm giving a virtual lecture at the Mindanao State University in the Philippines, and before Easter I had a wonderful meeting with one of the many new research teams in Indonesia engaging in #ecolinguistics.

A beautiful reminder that becoming ecological begins with the ways we speak and listen. Our language shapes our perceptions, and our perceptions shape how we inhabit the world.

Courses

Learned about these free courses (www.storiescourse.org) today at the Symposium on Ecolinguistics: Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene. The courses, produced by Professor Arran Stibbe and colabs, combine linguistic analysis and ecological awareness. #ecolinguistics #ecotranslation

Ecolinguistics: How Language Shapes Our Relationship with the Natural World Ecolinguistics examines how language shapes our understanding of nature and influences our environmental values.

7. Language isn’t just communication, it’s a lens that shapes how we value, protect, or ignore the world around us.

Just listened to the authors of this corpus-based study live during the Symposium on Ecolinguistics: Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene. There's a lot to be gained from interdisciplinary collaborations between linguists and environmental scientists. #ecolinguistics

2/2
The projects focus on language, discourse & societal challenges in climate change contexts.
Many thanks to Dr Carolin Schwegler for supervising the student projects 🙌

Second, we hosted a virtual book launch for two recent volumes on #ecolinguistics, edited by Martin Döring, Stephen Cowley, and myself: Language as an Ecological Phenomenon (2024) og Ecolinguistics and Emplacement (2025).

Last week, I hosted two exciting #ecolinguistics events at @sdu.dk.

First, Martin Döring (University of Hamburg) presented his work on the usage of ecolinguistic methods in studying local engagement in coastal protection in the Wadden Sea area.

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters. We’ll need to do more than ‘touch grass’ to revive them.

"Since 1800, there’s been a sharp decline in nature-related words in English language books. It closely matches a simulation of nature–human interactions." A new piece in @grist.org by Kate Yoder, with some #ecolinguistics input from @repoole.bsky.social grist.org/language/nat...

New Cambridge Elements from Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan free to download for two weeks. Clear interests to those in #CADS and corpus linguistics, but one case study on climate change discourse for those interested in #ecolinguistics. www.cambridge.org/core/element...

#Ecolinguistics and #cognitivelinguistics followers: does anyone know of any Greek-speaking researchers working on or interested in (non-literary) language, cognition and the environment? I’d be grateful if you could point them in my direction for a potential funding/project opportunity.
