Peter Finke:
Die Wildnis der Sprache. Ein kurzer Galopp durch die Ökolinguistik
Abstract:
In the present paper the author puts forward the thesis that ecological linguistics is part of a comprehensive perspective comprizing a new understanding of the whole of communication, action, knowledge and belief. It is part of a wide transdisciplinary project aiming at the reconsideration of our economic world view. The latter is characterized by mechanical models, fruitless specializations, and analyses which destroy wholeness, and which has been seriously questioned both by scientific and common sense reflection. The 14 sections of the paper draw a comprehensible, systematic and clear picture of this new perspective.
