Eco-discourse texts : A Syntactic parameter (based on the English-language official documents of India)
Journal Title: Мова - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 30
Abstract
The problematic of the article lies within eco-linguistics as the newest branch of language study. Arguing for the comprehensive parameterization of eco-discourse, including the study of ecological terminology, lexical and phraseological innovations, etc., the authors outline the purpose of the article as to define the peculiarities of syntactic organization of professional texts on ecology. The corpus of factual material includes Notifications of the Ministry of Environment and Forests of India. The object of the investigation is the syntactical characteristics of ecological texts. The necessity of the proposed research is determined by a significant role of eco-discourse in eco-education of the population of India. The findings consist in identifying specific features of the syntactic organization of eco-discourse. Stylistic heterogeneity of eco-texts has been proved; such a diversity implies usage of certain language units on different language levels, including the syntactic one. The research has made it possible to draw the conclusions that eco-discourse is a conglomerate of stylistically and structurally various texts, ’deepened in life’, whose study should not be reduced to description of terminology only. Further research is seen in comprehensive inventory of ecological texts and in their typological classification.
