Ecological Linguistics:
Countering the new world dharma
"what is needed is fact a new form of language—not a new tongue or lingua franca, but a mode of expressing language using vivid signifiers."

Responding to steady quality of living diminishments within the environmental mandala in which individual lives are constructed, and in acknowledgement of the accrued ancestral wisdom of cultures around the world—of unvarnished ‘global’ human culture—this version of language, or literary discourse, must also certainly encompass a hybridized form of thought, a type of multiculturally-attuned, ecological linguistics.

If globalization therefore is to be more than a relentless series of cultural upheavals during the coming century, it must succeed in overcoming a barrage of regressive cultural and perceptual barriers. This will require new thinking concerning the nature of humanity’s own meaning and purpose in a geopolitically and spiritually uncertain era
