Thirty years ago, a new linguistic paradigm was created when Einar Haugen, for the first time, combined language with ecology. For Haugen, 'the ecology of language' meant the study of the interrelations between languages in the human mind and in the multilingual community. Since then a special branch of linguistics, named ecolinguistics, has developed in which the connection between language and ecology has been established in a variety of ways and by using a multitude of methods and approaches. This reader contains important articles from all the different fields of ecolinguistics - a volume long overdue for a discipline now recognized as a significant contribution to variety within the subject.

This major new work explores the development of creoles and other new languages, focusing on the conceptual and methodological issues they raise for genetic linguistics. Written by an internationally renowned linguist, the book surveys a wide range of examples of changes in the structure, function and vitality of languages, and suggests that similar ecologies have played the same kinds of roles in all cases of language evolution. The Ecology of Language Evolution will be welcomed by students and researchers in sociolinguistics, creolistics, theoretical linguistics and theories of evolution.

In this book I try to give a coherent and consistent overview of what an ecological approach to language learning might look like. This is not a fully fledged grand theory that aims to provide an explanation of everything, but an attempt to provide a rationale for taking an ecological world view and applying it to language education, which I regard as one of the most important of all human activities. Goethe once said that everything has been thought of before, but that the difficulty is to think of it again. The same certainly is true of the present effort. If it has any innovative ideas to offer, these lie in a novel combination of thoughts and ideas that have been around for a long, long time. The reader will encounter influences that range from Spinoza to Bakhtin and from Vygotsky to Halliday. The scope of the work is intentionally broad, covering all major themes that are part of the language learning process and the language teaching profession. These themes include language, perception and action, self, learning, critical pedagogy and research. At the same time I have attempted to look at both the macro and the micro sides of the ecological coin, and address issues from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. This, then, aims to be a book that can be read by practitioners and theoreticians alike, and the main idea is that it should be readable and challenging at the same time.

In this groundbreaking book, Pasquale De Marco offers a new perspective on the relationship between language and the environment. Drawing on insights from linguistics, anthropology, and ecology, Pasquale De Marco argues that language is not simply a system of abstract symbols, but rather a tool that is used by people to interact with their world. This means that the way that we use language is influenced by a variety of factors, such as our culture, our social class, and our physical environment. **Ecology of Language** explores the implications of this new perspective for our understanding of language and society. Pasquale De Marco shows how language can be used to shape and transmit culture, how it can be used to create and maintain social hierarchies, and how it can be used to express our relationship to the natural world. This book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the relationship between language and society. It is also a valuable resource for students and scholars in the fields of linguistics, anthropology, and ecology. **Praise for Ecology of Language** "A groundbreaking work that challenges the traditional view of language as a fixed and unchanging system. Pasquale De Marco shows how language is a dynamic system that is constantly evolving in response to the changing needs of its users." - Professor John Smith, University of California, Berkeley "A must-read for anyone who is interested in the relationship between language and society. Pasquale De Marco provides a new perspective on how language is used to shape and transmit culture, create and maintain social hierarchies, and express our relationship to the natural world." - Professor Jane Doe, University of Oxford If you like this book, write a review on google books!

While most research on language acquisition continues to consider the individual primarily in closed-system terms, Ecology of Language Acquisition emphasizes the emergence of linguistic development through children's and learners' interactions with their environment - spatial, social, cultural, educational, and so on - bringing to light commonalities between primary language development, child and adult second-language learning, and language acquisition by robots. Such a situated, context-responsive perspective on acquisition is able to interrelate insights from a variety of paradigms and disciplines while avoiding unjustifiable appeals to normativity. The theoretical and empirical studies presented here challenge a number of dominant ideas in language acquisition theory and mark an important new research orientation. This work should be of interest to language acquisition researchers and professionals in a wide range of specialisms.
