Language games and nature: a corpus-based analysis of ecological discourse
Abstract
This dissertation approaches environmental discourse from the perspective of intercultural communication research. As a discipline, intercultural communication has encompassed a range of analytical levels, from micro-analysis of everyday communicative interactions to the macro-level structural factors that were brought into light by the critical turn. In light of planetary environmental issues, some researchers have called for an “ecological turn” as a new research paradigm. However, the complexity of integrating communication, culture, and the natural world into a coherent research program poses significant conceptual and methodological challenges. This dissertation seeks to provide both a methodological and conceptual framework for discourse at the interface of human cultures and the natural world- info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
