This page attempts to show some examples of indigenous researchers' work in linguistics on the relation between language, well-being, and the environment. The aim is to highlight how these studies can be applied in creating and working towards a more sustainable linguistics.

Ecology
In the context of linguistics, ecology means the relation between language and where it appears: for example society or the human mind. Ecological sustainability manifests that everything is interconnected: the effect of one thing to another is in the core of sustainability.
Understanding of ecology in other fields
Theory of the Organism-Environment System
- organism and its environment form a system. The organism would not exist without the environment, and without the organism the environment would not be the same.
The natural ecology of language
Of hierarchy and definitions
As aspects of human life, language and human well-being are both part of society. Looking at the image, environment in its narrow definition ("nature") contains all of society. Environment, if used in the ecological context, may also mean a broader living place where society is an environment for language. A broader well-being would then include the well-being of all levels; nature, society, and economy.
Relations between language, well-being, and the environment
- well-being of language, humans, and environment
- relations between each
