Inspired by water's movement, this book proposes an innovative approach to studying two languages coexisting in one environment. Water is a constant in any natural environment and a crucial basis of human life. Its availability shapes socioeconomic and cultural practices, including language and discourse. In multilingual environments, speakers need to navigate contradicting evaluations and metaphors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe comparative and contrastive study of conceptualisations and discourses in two languages advances the discipline of ecolinguistics by integrating new approaches, methods, and contexts. The double-language approach unravels dimensions of meaning that would otherwise go unnoticed. With selected examples, the book demonstrates the relevance for other world regions and the global nature of water problems and water discourses. It offers researchers in ecolinguistics and (critical) discourse analysis a methodological framework to empirically investigate language practices beyond monolingualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMonika Christine Rohmer\u003c\/b\u003e is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hildesheim, Germany.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350581029\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331923181708,"sku":"9781350581029","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_8869e3ae-c3e1-4ed8-a7dc-c44b4fc9bcae.jpg?v=1783600241","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350581029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
