📖 Corpus-assisted ecolinguistics: An interview with Robert Poole
✍️ Robert Poole; Wei Shen
Corpus-assisted ecolinguistics is an emerging area of linguistic enquiry that integrates the methodological repertoire of corpus-assisted discourse studies with the theoretical framework of ecolinguistics to study language and its impacts on the life-sustaining relationships among humans, other species, and the natural environment. It enables researchers to identify linguistic features and patterns that perpetuate particular forms of discourse and to uncover the underlying ecological worldviews, perceptions, and beliefs embedded within them through the systematic examination of large computerized textual datasets. Drawing on an in-depth interview with Robert Poole, this article aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to corpus-assisted ecolinguistics. It begins with a brief overview of recent developments in ecolinguistics and then examines the historical, theoretical, and methodological aspects of corpus-assisted ecolinguistics. The article concludes by discussing future directions for corpus-assisted ecolinguistics and recommending relevant resources for further research and practice.
