Ecolinguistics is the study of language is relevant to many other fields of inquiry. Ecolinguistics is the study of language according to the environment it is used in (Derni, 2008).
Language is part of the environment where we live, it is to be speculated in accordance with this environment. And as language enters into almost every aspect of human life, many disciplines dealing with various aspects of human life can be used in correspondence with linguistic study.
Ecolinguistics also investigates the role of language in the development and possible solution of ecological and environmental problems (Fill, 1993 in Al-Gayoni, 2012:28). In the other words ecolinguistics is a study of preservation of linguistic diversity.

Ideational Grammatical Metaphor in Scientific Texts: A Hallidayan PerspectiveBahram Kazemian
This study looked into a particular lexico-grammatical resource, the resource that SFL refers to as IGM. Proposed and evolved mainly by Halliday (1985, 1994), GMs can be identified in terms of the metafunctions. This paper adopts Hallidayan Systemic Functional Grammar to pinpoint and analyze nominalization and the role played by it. With a corpus of 10 authentic scientific texts drawn from very influential magazines, the analysis is conducted based on nominalization, its frequency and process types. The analysis displays that Ideational Grammatical Metaphor has permeated scientific texts and the prevailing process types are material and relational types.

Passive & Active Voice
Advanced English Grammar
Passive constructions are far more frequent in the academic genre than in any other.
1. Four Reasons to Use the Passive in Research Writing
Passiveis especially common and useful in research writing, where omitting the agent of an action is effective for 4 reasons:
1. Readers already know the agent (often the researchers)
Ex: Students who were surveyed at DePaul University mentioned that they were worried about unintentionally plagiarizing.
2. Using passive allows the object of the research to be the subject of the sentence, giving more importance to it than the researchers.
Ex: Students who were allowed to use their iphones during the experiment actually cheated less than students who were not.
3. It contributes to a sense of objectivity because human actions are not mentioned.
Ex: The most serious evidence of global warming can be found at the North Pole.
4. It can be used to create more cohesion in the text.
Ex: The scandal hurt Donald Trump, who was campaigning for president. He was not elected.
2. Two Functions of Passive in Research Writing
Passive verbs commonly have 2 functions in research writing:
1. Describing methods and analyses (be analyzed, be calculated, be carried out, be collected, be measured, be observed, be obtained, be prepared, be set, be tested, be used
2. Reporting findings, or interpreting their meaning and connection with other research (be determined, be expected, be found, be seen, be shown, be associated with, be believed to be, can be interpreted as)

Critical Discourse Analysis of Barack Obama's 2012 Speeches: Views from Syste...Bahram Kazemian
In the light of Halliday's Ideational Grammatical Metaphor, Rhetoric and Critical Discourse Analysis, the major objectives of this study are to investigate and analyze Barack Obama's 2012 five speeches, which amount to 19383 words, from the point of frequency and functions of Nominalization, Rhetorical strategies, Passivization and Modality, in which we can grasp the effective and dominant principles and tropes utilized in political discourse. Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis frameworks based on a Hallidayan perspective are used to depict the orator’s deft and clever use of these strategies in the speeches which are bound up with his overall political purposes. The results represent that nominalization, parallelism, unification strategies and modality have dominated in his speeches. There are some antithesis, expletive devices as well as passive voices in these texts. Accordingly, in terms of nominalization, some implications are drawn for political writing and reading, for translators and instructors entailed in reading and writing pedagogy.
Emergence and development of critical voice in postgraduate assignment genresLok Ming Eric Cheung
Abstract
Tertiary English academic writing is challenging owing to the students’ unfamiliarity of academic discourse. The students also find appropriating voice for negotiating and evaluating knowledge difficult. Meanwhile, postgraduate academic assignments are further more demanding due to the need to incorporate students’ critical insights into the subject matters, alongside the longer assignments. These challenges to the postgraduate students necessitate the investigation of the voices construed in the postgraduate assignment texts, motivating the present study. The present study adopts systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to investigate the APPRAISAL resources in postgraduate assignment texts. ENGAGEMENT resources are the particular focus of the present study to closely examine the source of evaluation of the academic written discourse. The present study then follows the qualitative research paradigm and examines naturalistic data from 27 full-time postgraduate English writers in Department of English at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The multiple case study research design is adopted to analyse participants’ assignments and interview verbatim data from both the postgraduate and the course instructors. The confirmation report of the present study selected one student from the 27 participants as the pilot case study. The pilot case study aims to capture how “Flo”, a female postgraduate writer, balance her authorial voice and other sources of voices across the assignments as a successful postgraduate writer. Through the case studies, the present study aims to examine how written discourse is socially constructed to negotiate evaluation under the postgraduate academic context. The confirmation report closes with the discussion of implications for future EAP research and pedagogies.
In systemic functional theory, language is organized as a multidimensional semiotic space according to (i) the hierarchy of stratification (semantics, lexicogrammar, and phonology or graphology); (ii) the metafunctional spectrum of meaning (ideational: experiential, logical, interpersonal and textual); and (iii) the cline of instantiation (the cline between potential and instance).

Teaching morphology enhancing vocabulary development and reading comprehensionLina Shcherbaniuk
Benefits of Morphology Instruction
Students who understand how words are formed by combining prefixes, suffixes, and roots tend to have larger vocabularies and better reading comprehension than peers without such knowledge and skills (Prince, 2009). Nagy (2007) proposed that the teaching morphological awareness and decoding in school may be the way to narrow the achievement gap for children whose families differ in education and income levels, and ethnic or racial backgrounds. A deep and full knowledge and understanding of vocabulary will improve outcomes for students who struggle.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
