Who wants to take an Ecology of Language class with me in Todos Santos (Baja California Sur Mexico) in Fall 2023? I will be teaching a 300-level course (in English) through Colorado State University. More info here: https://todossantos.colostate.edu/

OK #bookstodon could you give me some recommendations for #books with #animism ?

I'm not looking for something where some of the animals are talking, I want something more like #PrincessMononoke where all living beings are viewed as persons, even if they can't talk.

@simon Great article for my #ecolinguistics class!!!

Ecolinguistics explores the role of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species and the physical environment. #ecolinguistics

There is a free, modular course that introduces some of the sorts of things investigated in ecolinguistics.

There is an open-access peer-reviewed journal, Language & Ecology. There are no charges for publication or for readers.

Membership in the association is free.

I am creating a 300-level course on #ecolinguistics and #raciolinguistics to teach abroad in Mexico (Baja California). Final project will be a #linguisticlandscape. Any ideas and readings welcome! @linguistics

And you’re missing part of this glorious picture of what knowledge can be and culture and identity”. #indigenouslanguages @linguistics #ecolinguistics

“it’s this kind of situation that gives people a desire to find themselves in this big world — to understand where they came from, and to remember and preserve the story of their ancestors.”

My neologisms, just offerings made of my own linguistic rootedness (not intended to appropriate), to aid understanding of our collective challenges... a kind of celebration, but also a critique. #Anthropocene #neologisms #ecolinguistics #ecophilosophy #SpringTheory #language #EarthCrisis #MastoPhilosophy #Sym
