A Discursive Construction of Eco-relations Through the Lens of Green Grammar
Green Grammar is consistent with modern scientific theories,such as Gaia Theory.It serves as the construct of human being's harmonious co-existence with nature.Based on the complementary approaches of transitive and ergative systems,as well as lexis and grammar,an ecological discourse analysis framework is presented via the lens of Green Grammar.This framework aims to assist in analyzing the roles of humans and nature within environmental narrative discourse with the aim of exploring how eco-relations are discursively constructed.The findings suggest that environmental narrative discourse not only assigns human beings a subject status in environmental protection,but also acknowledges the animacy and agency of nature by representing nature as a living entity with intelligence,perception,and self-awareness.By delving into the discursive construction of harmonious human-nature co-existence through an ecological discourse analysis of environmental narrative discourse,this study aims to advance both the theory and the practice of ecological discourse analysis,and to promote the narrative of harmonious eco-relations between humans and nature.
