Quo vadis ecolinguistics

Resumen

The genre of this paper is aalpiri (Australian Western Desert languages for 'morning growl') and it spells out the reasons why have been less than happy with the way ecolinguistics has developed in recent years. In my opinion, ecolinguistics does not live up to the expectations of its founders and the whole enterprise is far less than the sum of its parts. Much of ecolinguistics is driven by ideology rather than rigid scholarly research and its efficacy leaves much to be desired. The title suggests that ecolinguists have to reflect on where they are going.
