摘要:

生态语言学是一门由生态学和语言学联姻而形成的新兴交叉学科,它主要研究语言和生态之间的相互关系。目前生态语言学内部有两个主要的研究路径:“豪根模式”与“韩礼德模式”,即“隐喻模式”与“非隐喻模式”。“豪根模式”又称为“语言生态学”,主要研究特定语言与其环境的交互作用以及如何保护语言的多样性;“韩礼德模式”主要研究语言或话语对于生态环境的影响以及在解决环境问题中所起的作用。两者的区别主要在于前者从生态的角度审视语言问题,而后者则从语言的角度审视生态问题。由Alwin Fill和Hermine Penz倾力主编的《劳特利奇生态语言学手册》作为目前第一本全面探索该领域的权威论著,不仅对生态语言学的主要研究内容、前沿成果与发展趋势做了全方位的审视,还集中体现了学界对于生态语言学发展的回顾、思考与展望,对于生态语言学学科的发展具有重要的总结和指引作用。全书规模宏大、内容广泛、视角新颖、前瞻性强,对从事生态语言学研究的学者、教师和学生而言极具学术参考价值。鉴于中国生态语言学研究还处在起步阶段,本文拟对这一最新力作进行介绍和述评,以期为国内学界开展生态语言学研究提供重要参考和有益启示。

Abstract:

Ecolingusitics is an umbrella term which is concerned with the interaction between language and ecology, covering topics from language diversity, language endangerment and language revitalization to ecological discourse analysis. There are two main complementary strands within this field: Haugenian approach and Hallidayan approach. Haugenian approach, also known as language/linguistic ecology, favors the study of the co-existence of languages whether in human minds or human societies and the protection and enhancement of the status of minority or endangered languages, which aims to preserve linguistic diversity, while Hallidayan approach, known as ecological linguistics, addresses the question of how language construes our view of nature and environment, and explores the role of language and discourse in describing, concealing and helping to solve ecological and environmental problems. As the first comprehensive exploration into this interdisciplinary and relatively new field, The Routledge Handbook of Ecolinguistics (2017) not only provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, past and present of ecolinguistics through in-depth discussion of diverse topics by leading international scholars, but also concludes with a discussion on what new orientations ecolinguistics will have and which trends will be investigated more profoundly in the future, which shed light on the leading ideas, topics, approaches and research methodologies in ecolinguistics. This book is a tremendous asset, provides much tasty food for thought and offers an excellent work of reference to researchers and postgraduate students interested in ecolinguistics, language ecology and ecological discourse analysis. The present article attempts to make a brief review and evaluation of this monograph in the hope of offering invaluable insights into domestic ecolinguistic studies.
