“This book introduces a new dimension into the study of language and ecology. Instead of criticizing the use of language about the ‘environment’, as is done in Ecolinguistics, Virdis’s book on Ecostylistics shows the positive side of language about Nature. The way the author displays how ‘beneficial discourse’ (including beneficial metaphor) describes Nature is fascinating. Her definition and evaluation of five ‘marker words’ by using five relevant texts is an outstanding feature of the book.”
