Thirty years ago a new linguistic paradigm was created when Einar Haugen combined language with ecology. For Haugen, 'the ecology of language' meant the study of the interrelations between languages in the human mind and in the multilingual community. Since then a special branch of linguistics, named Ecolinguistics, has developed in which the connection between language and ecology has been established in a variety of ways and using a multitude of methods and approaches. The Ecolinguistics Reader brings together the work of precursors in the field (e.g. E. Sapir, G. Steiner) and classic authors (e.g. E. Haugen, N. Denison, W.F. Mackey, M.A.K. Halliday, H. Weinrich) with that of more recent contributors (e.g. A. Fill, P. Finke, A. Goatly, R. Harris, W.-A. Liebert, P. MnhlhSusler, M. Schleppegrell, W. Trampe). In addition to the original ecolinguistic topics of language interrelation, language endangerment and language pressure, the themes of biological and linguistic diversity (e.g. S. Chawla, B. Schultz, D. Carbaugh, R. Penman, J. Glausiusz, D. Laycock) as well as the ecocritical aspect (e.g. M. Jung, M. Kahn, M. Howlett, R. Raglon, T. Berman) are given due consideration.
