This volume takes its title and great inspiration from the pioneering work of Harré, Brockmeier, and Mühlhäusler on language and the environment, Greenspeak: A Study of Environmental Discourse (1999). Rooted in theoretical frameworks spanning stylistics, rhetorical studies, ecolinguistics, pragmatics and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this collection explores the intricate and interconnected relationship between language and our understanding of ecology and the environment. By Eco-speak, we mean the body of texts and discourses that pertain to ecological issues, themes and preoccupations, and that function across different styles, genres and formats
