Abstract

Both of linguistic landscape (LL) studies and ecolinguistics have been growing in separate ways in China and abroad in recent years, however, few LL researchers draw their attentions to the urgent global ecological crisis and address the linguistic issues therein, whereas scholars of ecolinguistics tend to approach the crisis mainly in the media with discourse analysis, overlooking the resources in public space. In an attempt to explore the possibility of an ecological linguistic landscape study, or ecolinguistic landscaping, this paper discusses its properties, together with the ecological elements and traditional Chinese ecological wisdom relevant, and tries to merge the essences of LL and ecolinguistics with an aim to propose a renewed study of ecolinguistic landscaping which embraces ecosophy to address the eco-problems in LL.
