Eco-Tourism Terms: A Hybrid Vocabulary

The main objective of this paper is to show how important fashionable words and/or combining words such as eco- can be in the development of one language’s vocabulary, in our case the English vocabulary. The study area is linguistics: the paper presents an analysis of the English vocabulary of the compounds with eco-. The method consists of the statistical analysis of the eco- words: share of the modern English vocabulary, structure of the compounds, parts of speech containing eco-, and share of hyphenated words with eco-. The results of our analysis show that English eco- words advertising Indian eco-tourism are twice as numerous as English eco- words attested by language dictionaries. The conclusion: though quite recent, this hybrid vocabulary is likely to prevail in the field of the everdeveloping eco-tourism.

Eco-linguistic research has been conducted quite often in recent years, though on the lexicon in one particular area. The purpose of this study is to examine the lexicon treasures in Sanur tourism area. This location is selected since the area is at the risk of being affected negatively by the development of tourism in Bali due to globalization. The development of information technology and the progress in tourism might change the behavior and social attitudes of the society, as well as the biological environment of an area. This study examines the impacts of the development of tourism in Sanur tourism area by examining the ecotourism linguistics. Also, it analyzes the lexicon that survive and become extinct and innovative in Sanur tourism area. The data used is in the form of written and spoken information. They were collected through observation and interview, supported by recording techniques. The results show that many lexicons are found in relation to the biological environment...

International Linguistics Research

Ecolinguistics has been the research interest for many linguists in recent years. However, ecolinguitic researches in Indonesia are still concerned on examining the lexicon in one particular field. For this reason, this study aims to examine the lexicon treasures found in tourism area of Sanur. This is chosen as the object of this research as the tourism area is most at risk of being exposed to globalization due to tourism developments. The flow of globalization due to the development of information technology and tourism can change behavior, social attitudes or social life of the society, and the biological environment of the area as well. Based on the research results, it was found that the lexicons used by the Sanur community are not only lexicons that have a physical form or an activity, but there are also some lexicons that only refer to the concept (abstract) without finding the objects or physical activities referred to by these lexicons. The people of Sanur also feel that in...

Journal of Teaching English for Specific and Academic Purposes

Languages are subject to constant change, with new lexis being just one, yet the most sensitive. Languages for specific purposes are no exception, and this is particularly true in areas that are currently undergoing rapid development, such as tourism. The aim of the research is to analyze neonyms in the English tourism language from the perspective of new lexicon-building processes. Neonyms are understood as terms in the neologistic phase of the lexical life cycle. The contribution extracts them according to their subjective time-bound definition in the field of tourism based on the use of Internet sources as corpus, which is particularly suitable for the research of new language. The paper contributes to the understanding of tourism as a field and its specific language and sheds light on recent (often unsystematic) term formation processes. It shows indirect theoretical word formation tendencies, which are also applicable when comparing word formation processes in General English a...

Language & Ecology

George Jacobs

The book highlights words and short phrases, both long-established and recent, from languages other than English, as well as invented words, such as the word ‘cibopathy’ from the comic series Chew, which makes reference to the protagonist’s power of gaining a grasp of the entirety of a food’s history just by consuming a part of it. An Ecotopian Lexicon’s overall purpose lies in dealing with the reality we face due to living in. With the goal of enabling us to survive and perhaps overthrowing the Anthropocene, An Ecotopian Lexicon provides 30 entries, each with a definition, a pronunciation guide, and an accompanying essay which explains the entry’s use in its original context, describing its relevance to our lives in the Anthropocene and suggesting how to apply it in English or other languages. A further section contains artists’ responses to 14 of the entries.

Mostafa Bahraman

Ecolinguistics is a new interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between language and environment. The link between language and environment is based on how human beings behave the natural world under the influence of thoughts, concepts, ideologies and worldviews, all of which are formed by language. It is through the language that consumer-branded identities are built up and life is set to accumulate, and it is through a language that people resist consumerism, and people are encouraged to be "more, not to have more." Through language, mentally, the world of nature is reduced to objects or resources that are used exclusively to capture humans, and through language, individuals are encouraged to respect and protect life-supporting systems. So, in simple terms, ecolinguistics is a critique of forms of language that promote environmental degradation, and help find new forms of language that persuade people to protect the world of nature. In this article, Ecoling...

Academica turistica

This paper is meant to highlight the often neglected connection between language and tourism. Languages reflect realities and, as such, they can be considered one of the strongest tools and an important indicator of human development and hence the development of tourism. In a journal dealing with innovations in tourism, we endeavour to achieve two objectives: firstly, to introduce lexical and termino-logical neologisms (roughly defined as new expressions) connected with tourism: these language structures obviously indicate paths of tourism development; and secondly, to alert the actors in tourism of new terminology. An era of robust globalization has put focus on researching the English language. The theoretical part of the paper sheds light on definitions of neologisms and the methods of their extraction , as well as touching upon the specifics of the language of tourism, while the practical section offers a selection of neologisms showing current path of tourism development. A semi-automatic method of neologism extraction was used to complete the list from different resources chosen according to the definitions of neologisms and characteristics of the language of tourism. This paper also attempts to highlight currently discussed sub-disciplines of tourism. For this purpose , we have additionally investigated the abstracts of one of the leading tourism journals, Annals of Tourism Research, and a journal dealing with innovations in tourism, Academica Turistica, Tourism Innovation Journal.

The research examined the relationship between cultural ritual, linguistic, and ecology in the context of ecotourism. It aimed to encourage, stimulate, and integrate the use of religious tradition’s terms in understanding and reinterpreting the environment and human relations and its roles. Cultural forms and elements basically had the potential to be used as a tourism commodity, meaning that they could be commodified. The research also related to ecolinguistics, a study that discussed language associated with the environment in which the language grew and developed and how it was used by the community. Cultural rituals as a tourism commodity could be a means of maintaining culture and language even though they were commodified for tourism purposes. Thus, the religious-cultural structure of Rebo Buntung and Tetulaq Tamperan should be packaged following its original structure as a medium for cultural and language preservation but also packaged as attractively as possible with a conte...

The field of ecology, an interdisciplinary branch of biology, has seen substantial growth and development over the past century. This expansion has necessitated the creation and adoption of a robust lexicon to effectively describe complex ecological phenomena. This article explores the processes involved in the formation of ecological terms in English, focusing on the influences of Latin and Greek roots, borrowing from other languages, and the development of new terminology through compounding, derivation, and semantic shifts. Understanding these linguistic processes provides insight into how scientific language evolves to meet the demands of emerging scientific fields.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el modo en que el nuevo materialismo y el giro afectivo dan cuenta de su propio surgimiento en una serie de relatos fundacionales que toman como antagonista principal al giro lingüístico y/o al construccionismo social. En estas narraciones se sostiene que el problema de las teorías que privilegian al análisis discursivo y cultural-entre las que se suele incluir a la teoría feminista y queer-es que sobrestiman la importancia del lenguaje al mismo tiempo que malinterpretan la naturaleza de la materia. Este artículo examina los mecanismos textuales que permiten legitimar estas nuevas comu-nidades intelectuales a partir del distanciamiento y la exageración de los males del pasado. Lo que se intentará demostrar es que, para lograr su cometido, estos relatos despliegan una serie de vicios narrativos y problemas conceptuales que el presente escrito pretende discutir. The goal of this article is to examine the ways in which the so-called new materialism and affective turn have given an account of their own emergence in a set of foundational stories that portray the linguistic turn and social constructionism as their main antagonists. These narratives claim that those theories that privilege the discursive and cultural analysis-like feminist and queer theory-are problematic because they overestimate the role of language at the same time that they misinterpret the nature of matter. This article examines the textual mechanisms that are used to legitimizes these new intellectual communities by exaggerating the evils of the past. What I will try to show is that, in order to do this, these narratives deploy a set of narrative vices and conceptual problems that this paper seeks to discuss.
