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.

What is (sustainable) linguistics?

Interdisciplinarity and types of linguistics

Sustainable linguistics (definition)

Sustainability in linguistics

Ecology

The hierarchy of authentic sustainability "The worldview of authentic sustainability is also an interconnected, ecological view of the world. Since society is an integral part of nature, every human activity within society is also an act of nature, and thus has a direct positive or negative impact on nature. Since the economy is an integral part of society and of nature, every economic act has a direct positive or negative impact on society and nature."[1]

Ecologies of language

Understanding of ecology in other fields

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
