一部具有鲜明时代气息的语言生态学力作——《语言生态学引论》评介

最近几十年来。随着全球人口激增、资源过度开发、生物物种灭绝加速。全球环境问题越来越突出，环境生态问题已经成为全球共同关注的问题。与此相应产生了一系列与“生态学”相关的交叉性边缘学科。如文学生态学、社会生态学、城市生态学、文艺生态学等。语言生态学（又称生态语言学）在这种大背景下应运而生了。“语言生态”（Language Ecology）由美国斯坦福大学教授豪根（E．Haugen）于1970年在一次大会上提出，他将语言与周围环境之间的关系比作自然生态中动植物与环境之间的关系。20世纪80年代西方学者运用豪根生态学隐喻用法阐释语言问题，取得了一系列成果。随着1990年国际应用语言学协会（AILA）的召开，及英国著名语言学家韩礼德（Halliday）《意义的新途径》的出版，语言与生态关系的研究从此进入了一个新的阶段。
