第七届国际生态语言学研讨会

暨第九届全国生态语言学研讨会

The 7th International Conference 

on Ecolinguistics (ICE-7) 

and The 9th National Conference 

on Ecolinguistics 


Call for Papers

The 7th International Conference on Ecolinguistics (ICE-7) and The 9th National Conference on Ecolinguistics will be held at Beijing Normal University, China, on August 22-26, 2024 by the International Ecolinguistics Association (IEA). The theme for ICE-7 is “Language, Place and Sustainability: Ecolinguistics for the Present and Future of the Planet Earth”.  We invite proposals for symposia, individual papers and posters. We would be particularly interested in presentations with a focus on the conference theme. However, any other topic within the scope of ecolinguistics will also be welcome.

As a naturalised science of language, ecolinguistics studies the impact of language on the life-sustaining relationships among humans, other organisms and the physical environment (Alexander & Stibbe 2014, Steffensen & Fill 2014).  Carbaugh’s (2001) discussion of place in “dueling depictions” of nature reveals that communicating about natural space is a way of anchoring messages in physical space, but in so doing, more than a physical space is involved as the communicative process of depicting nature carries with it a potent complex of socio-cultural messages. From ecolinguistic approaches to representations of place (e.g. Nash & Muhlhausler 2014, Kidner 2016) to geographical text analysis for corpus-assisted ecolinguistics (Poole 2022), amongst many others, studies in discourse analysis broadly and ecolinguistics specifically have explored the production of place in discourses of ecological relevance (Poole 2022). In ecostylistic studies, the edited collection Language in Place: Stylistic Perspectives on Landscape, Place and Environment (Virdis et al. 2021) considers portrayals and conceptualisations of natural scenery and space in literary and non-literary texts by means of various stylistic methodologies. The edited collection The Stylistics of Landscapes, the Landscapes of Stylistics (Douthwaite et al. 2017) is devoted to stylistic analyses of physical landscapes in literary texts.

Place has become an important topic in ecolinguistics as it is closely associated with the physical environment, our habitat and the planet Earth which sustain the life of humans and other organisms. As Snyder (1995) puts it, whatever lives needs a habitat, a culture of warmth and moisture to grow. It is hoped that this conference will provide a platform for the topics of language, place and sustainability to meet, so that we could discuss the role language plays in making the planet Earth a more sustainable and livable place for present and future generations.
