The present philosophical literature on philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein tends to either stagnate by focusing upon issues particular to Wittgenstein's philosophy or expand the boundaries of Wittgenstein's thought to shed light onto other areas of study. One area that has largely been ignored is the realm of environmental philosophy. I prepare the way for a solution to this by first arguing that Wittgenstein's later philosophy of language shows 'proto-ecolinguistic' concerns, sharing much in common with the ecolinguistic thought of both Peter Mühlhäusler and Luisa Maffi. This reading, as well as the work of Mühlhäusler and Maffi, is a starting point for an opposition to a common trend in much of contemporary linguistics of adhering to a linguistic paradigm of universalizing linguistic atomism that gives an impoverished account of language. This impoverished account is argued to have potential environmental and ecological consequences which the universalizing atomistic paradigm is ill-equipped to address.

According to Couto (2016), the Ecolinguistcs is an ecological perspective to the studies of language and, because of it, this perceives the language like another human being’s interaction with his mates, made where he lives. This way, the Ecolinguistcs studies the interactions between language, people and territory in three environments: mental, social and natural, inserted at linguistic ecosystem. In this theoretical field, the study of “roda de capoeira” is based on the assumption that the capoeira players forms a speaking community which interacts linguistcly in a territory, because every capoeira group has his headquarters where the capoeira players always come together to practice their art and do the “rodas de capoeira”. According to Reis (1997), capoeira is, simultaneously, dance, game and fight. A “roda de capoeira” is made by instruments (reco-reco, agogô, pandeiro, berimbau and atabaque); by songs; by the moves of the bodies to make the strikes, being the “ginga” (the rhythm of capoeira) the basis for all of them; and some game codes made between the capoeira players at moment of “roda”. Because of these characteristics, the linguistic interaction of the “roda de capoeira” integrates linguistic and extralinguistc, proxemics and cinesics elements, which makes a typical language of capoeira. To understand it, it’s needed to describe and to analyze the relations between language, body and culture, through a point of view that recognizes these phenomenons like autonomous and, at the same time, interdependent in the communication. This thesis intends to study these relations, problematizing the current conceptions of language, body and culture, and, starting with them, proposing a study about the cultural ecosystem. So, it was made a study about this relations based on the problematization of the language, body and culture's more usual concepts, and, starting from these, making a study of this cultural ecosystem. This last one includes the linguistics ecosystem (COUTO, 2016) and allows the understanding about how the communicative interaction is influenced by the inter-relation of the body, with the language and the culture. This research concluded that each capoeira group makes a speak community which interacts linguistically in its territory, because each group has its own place where the people usually get together to practice and do the "rodas de capoeira". This community keepsand updates the culture through its communicative interaction in its mental, social and natural environments. This interaction is, indeed, the "roda". So, this way, the capoeira shows the body is the main bond between the language and the culture inside a speak community. / Esta tese teve como objetivo geral descrever e analisar as inter-relações entre língua, corpo e cultura na interação comunicativa da roda de capoeira, sob o viés da Ecolinguística, que, de acordo com Couto (2016a), compreende uma perspectiva ecológica para os estudos da linguagem e entende a língua como mais uma interação do ser humano e de seus pares,realizada no meio ambiente onde ele vive. Assim, a Ecolinguística estuda as interações entre língua, povo e território em três meios ambientes, mental, social e natural, inseridos no ecossistema linguístico. Neste campo teórico, a presente pesquisa se classifica como bibliográfica e interpretativa de documentos, isto é, de obras de mestres de capoeira e capoeira sobre a constituição da roda. De acordo com Reis (1997), a capoeira é, simultaneamente, dança, jogo e luta. Uma roda de capoeira é composta por instrumentos (reco-reco, agogô, pandeiro, berimbau e atabaque); cantos; pelos movimentos do corpo para desferir os golpes, sendo a ginga a base de todos eles; e alguns códigos de jogo feitos entre os capoeiristas no momento da roda. Por essas características, a interação linguística da roda de capoeira integra elementos linguísticos, extralinguísticos, proxêmicos e cinésicos, que formam uma linguagem típica da capoeira, de mesmo modo que evidenciam as relações entre língua, corpo e cultura, enquanto fenômenos autônomos e, ao mesmo tempo, interdependentes na comunicação humana. Desse modo, foi realizado um estudo dessas relações, por meio da problematização das concepções de língua, corpo e cultura mais vigentes, e a partir delas, a fim de propor um estudo desse ecossistema cultural. Este engloba o ecossistema linguístico (COUTO, 2016a) e permite compreender como a interação comunicativa é influenciada pela inter-relação do corpo, com a língua e a cultura. Esta pesquisa concluiu que cada grupo de capoeira forma uma comunidade de fala que interage linguisticamente em um território, pois cada grupo tem a sua sede onde se reúne regularmente para treinar e fazer as rodas. Essa comunidade mantém e atualiza a cultura por meio da sua interação comunicativa em seus meios ambientes mental, social e natural. Essa interação é a própria roda. Portanto, a capoeira demonstra que o corpo é o principal elo entre língua e a cultura em uma comunidade de fala.

During 2019, it became increasingly popular for countries to declare a climate emergency – often on demand of their citizens. As such, the term ‘climate emergency’ had a significant increase in usage and got dubbed the Word of the Year 2019. In an effort to investigate discourses around ‘climate emergency’, I used a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis with framing theory, as used in ecolinguistics, and compared with ‘climate change’; the UK parliamentary climate emergency declaration was used as the point of comparison. I compiled a corpus of almost 100,000 words (consisting of news articles) for each term in the time period Jan-Aug 2019 (four months before and after the declaration). The results showed that there were three overlapping frames (politics, problem, threat) – as well as three unique frames for ‘climate change’ (war, cause, predicament). There were no differences in what frames occurred before and after the climate emergency declaration, but there were differences in the words included in the frames – both in terms of frequency and what words were used.

The purpose of this research study was to identify and define important components that might constitute an ecology of language (Mufwene 2001; Haugen 1972). Focusing on components as varied as social networks, physical ecology, identity and linguistic realities allowed for the construction of such a model, which was then applied to a specific case study addressing the vitality of Haitian Creole among first and second generation Haitian college students in South Florida. The resulting ecology of language model demonstrates that the competition and selection pressures guiding language use among first and second generation Haitian college students hinge on two ecological factors: the survey respondents' level of American acculturation and their desire to be involved in or affiliated with a separate subgroup of Haitians. The study found that (1) the reported language behavior of parents had no correlations with the respondents' interest in affiliating with other Haitians, and (2) Haitia n college students who do identify strongly with Haitian culture do not necessarily equate that cultural identity with the Haitian Creole language. These results suggest, in contrast to the claims of Zephir (2001), that Haitian college students will acculturate quickly into American linguistic society despite their desire to maintain the hyphenated identity of Haitian-American. Additionally, many of the conditions which are noted in the language endangerment literature (Grenoble & Whaley1998; Nettle & Romaine 2000; Crystal 2000) pointing towards language loss are occurring within the Haitian college community in South Florida. Despite the fact Haitian college students in South Florida all have positive attitudes towards Haitian culture and language, the respondents prefer to speak English rather than Haitian Creole. As is the case with other minority languages (Potowski 2010), it can be predicted that Haitian Creole will maintain its integrity and vitality in America continued / immigration. / by Kristyl Williams Kepley. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Esta tese visa analisar o discurso produzido pelo Jornal Nacional (JN) da TV Globo, no período entre abril de 2010 e outubro de 2013, sobre o tema da construção da usina hidrelétrica de Belo Monte de acordo com a perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD) e da Ecolinguística, além de usar premissas jornalísticas, já que estas constituem as bases do corpus analisado. O discurso sobre Belo Monte aborda vários temas a partir do sentido simbólico da usina e têm grande apelo no imaginário social atualmente como a ecologia e a ocupação da Amazônia de forma predatória. Daí a necessidade de recorrer a outras fontes de consulta técnica que nos fornecessem subsídios teóricos para não ficarmos restritos ao discurso dominante. A partir da análise dessas notícias a pesquisa se posicionou para operar dentro de uma ciência com uma vasta gama de áreas implicadas no campo socioambiental (a biologia, a antropologia, a economia). Nossa intenção é mostrar como os interesses das elites se articulam em nome de valores como a democracia e a liberdade de expressão para controlar os discursos e as ideologias que são de seu interesse, cuja finalidade última é criar, estabilizar e legitimar formas de dominância e abuso do poder social. Baseados nos estudos de van Dijk (2005) assumimos que com esta investigação dissidente, os analistas do discurso tomam uma posição explícita e querem desta forma compreender, expor, e, em última análise, resistir à desigualdade social. Operamos dentro desta linha epistemológica que considera a relação entre o uso da linguagem e a construção de sentidos, já que o discurso constitui a sociedade e seus valores culturais, utilizando vários postulados teórico-metodológicos de van Dijk. Com o apoio da teoria dos atores sociais de van Leeuwen (1997) que especifica a forma de representação dos atores nas notícias, foi possível estabelecer um ponto de partida dentro da ACD que possibilitou fazer a relação entre as notícias e o uso dos recursos léxicogramaticais que evidenciassem como são formadas as estratégias linguísticas que carregam em seu bojo ideologias que não estão alinhadas ao interesse da sociedade. Pretendemos que, ao final, o resultado esteja inserido no campo da Ecolinguística, que compreende todas as ciências aqui descritas e as unifica sob uma orientação holística, cuja base constitutiva é a relação de respeito e ética entre os homens e destes com a natureza, ressaltando que esta não possui voz própria. Portanto, é de fundamental importância descrever os processos semântico-pragmáticos utilizados pelo discurso telejornalístico, que buscam legitimar a dominação do homem sobre a natureza. O debate está aberto, e há uma pressa na construção e na apropriação do discurso ambiental. Por se tratar de um discurso novo, o discurso socioambiental nos oferece o privilégio de fazer o seu estudo e análise em um momento histórico difícil de ser repetido, considerando que não surgem novas grandes linhas de debates e temas discursivos com frequência. Dadas às fortes implicações socioeconômicas e dos impactos que uma formação discursiva ambiental veiculada por um órgão jornalístico do porte do JN possa acarretar, parece-nos oportuno apresentar um trabalho cuja contribuição é a de abrir novas perspectivas no debate que é a marca do nosso tempo e que já está sendo travado no campo discursivo-ideológico da Ecolinguística, para decidir se adotamos uma postura eco ou antropocêntrica. / This thesis aims to analyze the discourse produced by TV Globo\'s Jornal Nacional (JN) between April 2010 and October 2013, on the topic of the hydroelectric plant being constructed at Belo Monte. For this purpose, the analysis adopts the theoretical and methodological perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis (hereafter: CDA) and Ecolinguistics, besides using journalistic methods, the latter considered to be germane to the analyzed corpus. In the discourse surrounding the Belo Monte dam, various topics are discussed from the perspective of the plants symbolic meaning, such, as, for instance, questions of ecology and the predatory occupation of the Amazon topics with great appeal to current social imagination. Therefore, there is a need to resort to other sources of technical expertise in order to provide the theoretical wherewithal that will prevent the dialogue initiated by CDA from restricting itself to the dominant discourse. Analytically, the present research is positioned to operate within a science with a wide range of areas involved in the environmental field (biology, anthropology, economics). The present work intends to show how elite interests are articulated in the name of values such as democracy and freedom of expression, but actually aiming to control the relevant discourses and ideologies whose ultimate purpose is to create, stabilize and legitimize forms of dominance and abuse of social power. Based on studies by van Dijk, it is advocated that through such dissident research, discourse analysts take explicit position, and thus want to understand, expose, and ultimately resist social inequality\" (van Dijk 2005). Within this epistemological line of thinking, the relationship between language use and the construction of meaning is particularly targeted, since discourse constitutes society and its cultural values. Guided by van Leeuwens (1997) theory of social agents, which specifies the form of representation of the actors in the news, it was possible to establish a CDA-inspired starting point for analyzing the relationship between the news and the use of lexical and grammatical resources. The analysis shows how the various agents form the linguistic strategies, which harbor ideologies that are not consonant with the interests of society at large. At the end of the day, we want our results to be brought to bear on the field of Ecolinguistics, which comprises all the sciences referred to above, unifying them under a holistic orientation, based on the respect and ethical attitudes that should characterize the relationship between humans and nature. In particular, since nature does not have a voice of its own, it is of fundamental importance to describe the semantic-pragmatic processes used in the discourse of television news, as it seeks to legitimize the domination of humans over nature, often to the detriment of the humans themselves. The debates have already started, and the various participants are rushing to construct and appropriate the current environmental discourse, which, being new, offers the privilege of carrying out research and analysis at an historical juncture that will be difficult to replicate, considering that major new directions do not often appear in debates. Given the large socioeconomic impact and environmental implications that a discursive formation conveyed by a journalistic medium with the outreach of JN is apt to carry, it seems appropriate to present a study aiming at opening new perspectives in the debates that are the hallmark of our times debates which already are raging in the ideological-discursive field of Ecolinguistics, and that are crucial when it comes to deciding which way to go: adopting an anthropocentric position versus identifying with an ecologically responsible world-view.

The first is located in Pilar de Goiás, in the central-western region of Brazil. The choice of this city is due to geographic and social factors contained in their formation, provided by the passage of the Bandeiras. The second community is in Trás-os- -Montes, a region located at northeast of Portugal. It was decided by the guidelines of the corpus of Trás-os-Montes, because a read of José Leite de Vasconcellos (1929) that contained references to linguistic aspects of conservation in relation to the Romance languages. This paper aims to broaden the debate on issues of conservation and innovation of varieties of Portuguese, present in the speech of the residents of these places, from the theoretical perspective of the project Linguistics and History of the Colonization of Goiás, developed by the program of post graduated studies in Literature and Linguistics at the Federal University of Goiás. In this connexion we discuss the hypothesis of shared linguistic features and we rank similarities and differences, especially with regard to the state standard of the Portuguese. Two field researches, a qualitative study, were conducted between 2009 and 2011, through recorded interviews with Brazilian and Portuguese people. We selected 8 residents in Pilar de Goiás and 8 of Trás-os-Montes. The theoretical scope of this thesis revisited, given its nature, permeates areas of linguistics discussing the implications of the spoken language, namely: Sociolinguistics, Dialectology and Geolinguistics, besides considering the Ecolinguistics as a key proposal, since the conception of language advocated in this work fits into the relationship between the natural, mental and social environment, established through acts of communicative interaction. The analysis of oral records reveals that are shared features between these two communities, especially with regard to paragoge visible in the two variants of the Portuguese language .On the other hand,concerning the innovative aspects, the differences are remarkable mainly in the syntax. / Apresenta-se nesta tese uma discussão sobre a inovação e conservação do português moderno nas variedades brasileira e lusitana, observando marcas histórico-linguísticas na fala de idosos de duas comunidades de fala. A primeira se localiza em Pilar de Goiás, na região centro- -oeste do Brasil. A escolha dessa cidade se deu a fatores geográficos e sociais contidos em sua formação, proporcionados pela passagem das Bandeiras. A segunda comunidade está em Trás-os-Montes, uma região localizada a nordeste de Portugal. Decidiu-se pelo enquadramento do corpus de Trás-os-Montes devido à leitura de um opúsculo de José Leite de Vasconcelos (1929) que continha referências sobre aspectos linguísticos de conservação em relação à língua românica.O objetivo deste trabalho; pois, é ampliar o debate sobre aspectos de conservação e inovação das variedades da língua portuguesa, apontadas nas falas dos moradores destas localidades, sob os moldes do projeto A Linguística e a História da Colonização de Goiás, desenvolvido pelo departamento de Pós-Graduação em Letras e Linguística da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Nessa direção, verificam-se traços linguísticos compartilhados e elencar semelhanças e diferenças, principalmente no que se refere à norma estatal do português ( considerada padrão). Duas pesquisas de campo, de cunho qualitativo, foram realizadas entre 2009 e 2011, por meio de entrevistas gravadas com brasileiros e portugueses. Selecionou-se oito sujeitos residentes em Pilar de Goiás e 8 sujeitos de Trás-os-Montes. O escopo teórico revisitado nesta tese, dada sua natureza, perpassa por áreas da Linguística que discutem as implicações da língua falada, a saber: Sociolinguística, Dialetologia e Geolinguística, além de considerar a Ecolinguística como uma proposta fundamental, uma vez que a concepção de língua defendida neste trabalho, se insere na relação entre meio ambiente natural, mental e social, estabelecida por meio de atos de interação comunicativa. Verificou-se, pela análise dos registros orais, que há traços compartilhados entre as duas comunidades referidas, principalmente no que se refere à paragoge, visível nas duas variantes da língua portuguesa. Por outro lado, no que respeita a aspectos inovadores, as dessemelhanças são perceptíveis, principalmente, na sintaxe.

In this term paper, a linguistic analysis of the contents of the of the Brazilian Environmental Law is proposed, regarding the art. 225 of Brazilian Constitution and its complementary legislation. From this corpus and its emerging demands it is targeted as a general scope to research the harmony between Brazilian Environmental Law and the values of the Deep Ecology included in the theoretical framework of the Ecological Discourse Analysis – EDA. This area suggests new paradigms to be pursued in which mankind establishes a closer and respectful relation with all living beings, including the comprehension of what makes part of the ecosystem. This new area possesses and suggests a holistic and integrated view of the world. In this direction, it is appealed the Econliguistic strand entitled Ecological Discourse Analysis (EDA) as the theoretical basis, which scope is the speech construction study from an ecological perspective considering a range of environment aspects, such as physical, mental and social ones, and not only the social environment reckoned in other strands. Furthermore, this aspect of analysis proposes linguistic studies based on an ideological and eco-ethic lifestyle, also having the Deep Ecology as one of its inspiration sources, thus making part of the EDA. Taking into account the analysis, it was possible comprehend that laws and principles, which assemble the corpus, reveal an embryonal tendency that follows the Deep Ecology values. Nevertheless, the manner in which laws and principles are written demonstrate a strong subordination of laws environment and environment principles to the capitalist and anthropocentric ideologies with priority over environmental ethics, which can harm the assurance of a balanced environment. / As questões sobre o meio ambiente e sua preservação têm sido amplamente discutidas atualmente, motivando diversas pesquisas. Neste estudo se propõe uma análise linguística dos princípios do Direito Ambiental brasileiro, do artigo 225 da Constituição da República Fderativa do Brasil e de suas leis complementares. A partir desse corpus e dos questionamentos que dele emergem temos o objetivo geral de averiguar as consonâncias e dissonâncias entre Direito Ambiental brasileiro e os valores da Ecologia Profunda, incluída no arcabouço teórico da Analise do Discurso ecológica. Essa área sugere novos paradigmas a serem seguidos, em que o homem estabeleça uma relação mais próxima e respeitosa com todos os seres do ecossistema, inclusive por meio da compreensão de que faz parte do ecossistema, ou seja, ela possui e sugere uma visão holística e integralizadora de mundo. Nesse sentido, recorremos à vertente da Ecolinguística intitulada Análise do Discurso Ecológica como base teórica, cuja finalidade é o estudo da formação de discursos por uma perspectiva ecológica, incluindo em seus estudos aspectos do meio ambiente físico, mental e social, diferente de outras vertentes que se restringem apenas ao meio ambiente social. Essa vertente de estudos propõe, ainda, estudos linguísticos baseados em uma ideologia de vida e em uma ética ecológica, além de ter a Ecologia Profunda como uma de suas fontes de inspiração e, portanto, fazer parte da ADE. Pela análise, foi possível compreender que as leis e os princípios que compõem o corpus apresentam uma tendência embrionária que seguem os valores da Ecologia Profunda. No entanto, a forma como as leis e os princípios são escritos demonstram que há uma forte subordinação das leis e dos princípios ambientais à ideologia capitalista e antropocêntrica, sem que sejam priorizada uma ética ambiental, o que compromete a garantia de um meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado

This study delves into the ways in which the displaced Palestinian characters in Susan Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin (2010) and Randa Abdel-Fattah’s Where the Streets Had a Name (2008) connect to their homeland through embodied metaphors, particularly through the personification of their native lands, which will be read with recourse to Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). By utilizing ecolinguistics as an analytical lens and applying CMT, this study illuminates how both literary works significantly underscore the urgency and cruciality of the human-nature interconnection and interdependence amid tragedy and dispossession. The authors’ use of metaphorical language to personify the land gives rise to the ontological conceptual metaphor NATURE IS A PERSON and other embodied metaphors, and these illustrate the profound interconnection between the characters and their ancestral lands. Subsequently, this study uncovers the ecological identities of the displaced characters, which ultimately leads them to attempt to establish physical and metaphorical connections with their ancestral villages. The physical connection is established through the concept of “eco-resistance”, which is crucial for their physical and psychological wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of the land.
