(Stibbe 2015)The stories-we-live-by are, therefore, cognitive structures which influence how multiple people think, talk and act.
The Cameroon Ecolinguistics Association is a network of researchers and professionals from various fields who share ideas, opinions and articles about ecolinguistics and other ecologically related disciplines. It is a regional branch of the International Ecolinguistics Association.
Ecolinguistics explores the role of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species and the physical environment. The first aim is to develop linguistic theories which see humans not only as part of society, but also as part of the larger ecosystems that life depends on. The second aim is to show how linguistics can be used to address key ecological issues, from climate change and biodiversity loss to environmental justice.
Membership of the Cameroon Ecolinguistics Association is free and open to anyone with an interest in language and the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species and the physical environment. For example:
