Applies the most effective tools from corpus linguistics to environmental discourses that perpetuate harmful ecological practices and ideologies.
Robert Poole is Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Alabama, USA.
Offers a good introduction to the potential of applying corpus
linguistic methods when pursuing ecolinguistic research ... As the
book continually gives overviews and explanations of key concepts
from both corpus linguistics and ecolinguistics, it is suitable for
readers from both linguistic fields – or any other area of
linguistics.

This text aims to expand the scope of ecolinguistic scholarship. At
its heart are several valuable case studies. The case studies apply
a variety of corpus-assisted methods and tools to the analysis of
text types which are often overlooked as sources of ecolinguistic
insight. Yet, Dr Poole demonstrates that such analyses can be
extremely productive. Readers with interests in environmental
studies, ecolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and/or discourse
studies can find inspiration in this book.

This wide ranging book includes copious examples of both existing
research and original investigations. With careful attention to
theory and method throughout, Poole presents an impressive overview
of different areas of study, clearly illustrating the potential for
a complementary relationship between ecolinguistics and
corpus-assisted discourse analysis.
