Abstract

The objective of this essay is to discuss linguistics as an ecological system, that is, an non-closed system, as it is seen by formal theories of language. Therefore, ecolinguistics must take into consideration not only internal factors (grammar), but also environmental factors. This enhances an awareness against the dangers of monoculturalism, as well as about the limitations of natural resources, the health of ecosystems, and a long term view of reality.
