The Bloomsbury Handbook of Ecolinguistics is a comprehensive guide focusing on the expanding field of ecolinguistics. Featuring contributions from scholars worldwide, the handbook explores topics such as climate change discourse, representations of nonhuman animals in media, depictions of place and sustainability in education. The chapters present both a broad range of domains explored within ecolinguistics as well as overviews of key domains and methods of analysis. From corpus-assisted approaches and ecostylistics to econarrative analysis and decolonial ecolinguistics, the chapters illustrate the domains of inquiry and the theories and approaches to analysis.
With contributions from scholars of diverse disciplinary backgrounds across ecolinguistics, applied linguistics, environmental communication, and environmental humanities, this handbook is an integral text for those exploring the role of language and the part it plays in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species, and the natural world.

Robert Poole is Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Alabama, USA. Daniela Francesca Virdis is Associate Professor of English Language and Translation at the University of Cagliari, Italy. Jessica Hampton is a postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, UK. Amir Ghorbanpour holds a PhD in linguistics from Tarbiat Modares University, Iran.
