This volume is the culmination of intense theoretical and empirical development in Chinese ecolinguistics. The result is groundbreaking. Firmly rooted in ancient and contemporary Chinese philosophy, Harmonious Discourse Analysis both contributes to and challenges mainstream ecolinguistics. Cutting-edge and uncompromising, this volume will provoke some – but is a must-read for all ecolinguists! * Sune Vork Steffensen, Professor, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark * This comprehensive presentation of Harmonious Discourse Analysis from Professors Zhao and Huang is a tremendously valuable addition to the Advances in Ecolinguistics series. This book will be required reading for ecolinguists around the world and will contribute to further growth of the field. * Robert Poole, Associate Professor of TESOL and Applied Linguistics, The University of Alabama, USA * Zhao and Huang reimagine Western ecolinguistics from the perspective of Taoism and Confuciansim, promoting a philosophy based on the intersection of personal, interpersonal and interspecies harmony. Through the application of Systemic Functional Linguistics, they provide the tools for analysing texts in their context, with examples from Chinese poetry, media, education and local knowledge. * Tom Bartlett, Professor of Functional and Applied Linguistics, University of Glasgow, UK *
