Ecolinguistics

"Importantly the stories-we-live-by influence how we act in the world--if nature is seen as a resource then we may be more likely to exploit it, or if economic growth is seen as the primary goal of politics then people's wellbeing and the ecosystem s which support life may be overlooked."

受启发于Lakoff和Johnson的Metaphors We Live by，总共讲述了8个与环境有关的stories：ideologies，frames，metaphors，evaluations，identities，convictions，erasures和salience，很受启发。人类赖以生存的环境，必须值得关注！ecolinguists和各行各业与ecology相关的人员，一定要大力宣传我们赖以生存的环境以及人类对地球和生物的破坏，揭穿各种商业、资本、媒体、广告等行业试图掩盖的环境破坏的事实！个体的声音微乎其微，环境问题需要每个人的努力。
