About the Book

Ecolinguistics recognizes the fact that different words mean different things to different people and that these differences in meaning for any given word correlate with the speaker's sex, age, education and kind of work, as well as the speaker's regional dialect. "Variationism" and a lack of absolute standards are not "incidentals" as grammatical theory construction, but are the norm for all known languages. Unlike other theories currently common, ecolinguistics pays detailed attention to the artistic use of language especially in poetry and in the translation of poetry and prose for literary purposes. Idiomaticity and metaphoric language play an equally important role in ecolinguistics. This work comprises a collection of thematically arranged articles on the field. It represents the synthesis of 25 years work by Adam Makkai, a major scholar and founder of the Linguistic Association of Canada and the United States.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Theoretical considerations: pragmo-ecological answers to unbridgeable gaps in the TGG paradigm - translation, idiomaticity and multiple coding; a pragmo-ecological view of linguistic structure and language universals - toward a new synthesis of linguistics and anthropology; degrees of nonsense, or transformation, stratification, and the contextual adjustability principle; on "positive" and "negative" kinds of logic in modern linguistics - a Vichian perspective on the evolution of the science of language. Part 2 Syntax and semantics: what does a native speaker know about the verb "kill"?; a lexocentric approach to descriptive linguistics; periods of mystery, or syntax and the semantic pause; where do exclamations come from?; how does a SEMEME mean?; the passing of the syntactic age, or "take one" on "take" - lexo-ecology illustrated. Part 3 Facing the arts: systems of simultaneous awareness - toward a "musical linguistics"; the transformation of a "Turkish pasha" into a big, fat dummy; on the meaning of Noel Coward's "Venice"; "lexical insertion" as a socio-psychological event - evidence from poetic behaviour; how to put the pieces of a formal poem, eg. a "sonnet", together; the "illumination" of Giuseppe Ungaretti - a linguistic meditation on phonetics, semantics and the explication of texts.
