Approaches
- Ecological discourse analysis (EDA) is the analysis of any type of discourse under the ecological framework (Alexander and Stibbe 2014).
- Critical discourse analysis (CDA) aims to unveil power relationships and ideologies in society and takes as its starting point a social or political problem (Fairclough 1995). Ecolinguists have extended this approach to deal with ecological problems. For example, Alexander (2009, 2018) has analyzed discourses of large international companies to unmask industrial practices which are destructive to the environment, such as marketing and greenwashing strategies.
- Positive discourse analysis (PDA): Instead of just exposing negative dominant discourses, it aims to look for alternative discourses: discourses of being rather than having, discourses that promote respect for nature rather than growth, and which inspire and hearten us (Stibbe 2018).
- Multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) studies how meaning is created by the interplay of various modes such as spoken and written language, images (still and moving) yet also aspects such as color, layout of pages, etc. The different elements provide a repertoire from which communicators can choose to convey and construct meanings (Hansen 2018; Hansen and Machin 2015; Kress and van Leeuwen 1996, 2001; see also Stibbe 2015: 34). As in other areas of life, multimodality has been playing an increasing role in connection to discourses relating to the environment in recent years.
