Summary
This book reflects the cutting edge in ecostylistic approaches to nature, the environment and sustainability as represented in contemporary non-literary discourse. It starts by presenting the ecolinguistic and stylistic terms and theories applied in this ecostylistic analysis, then examines the occurrences of five marker words (nature, environment, ecosystem, ecology, sustainability) on the websites of five environmental organisations (Forestry England, Greenpeace International, National Park Service, Navdanya International, WWF). This book will be of interest to scholars of stylistics, ecolinguistics and ecocriticism, as well as discourse analysis, environmental communication and environmental humanities. Daniela Francesca Virdis is an Associate Professor of English Language at the University of Cagliari, Italy.
