Corpus linguistics
Corpus linguistics is the study of language through the examination of a collection of texts, known as a corpus, to gain insight into patterns and trends across a language or languages. This field employs computational methods, for example, to analyze text and can be applied for various purposes depending on the objectives of one's study.
A corpus linguistic approach to ecolinguistics
could include taking a collection of texts about weather, climate change, global warming, among others, to examine the type of language that is employed when talking about different phenomena. Sets of texts could be from twitter threads with certain hashtags, news articles on selected topics and even transcripts of public political discussion on environmental issues. The motivation of such a study would be to excavate the meanings expressed toward environmental topics that could create a positive or negative positive toward a certain topic that could potentially spread false information and create ideologies that do not comply with scientific knowledge and research.
