The adoption of an ecological viewpoint in linguistics has been one of these. Contemporary versions (or visions), however, are unlikely to prove substantial: they are not particularlyinnovative, nor are their foundations sturdy in all respects. Apart from a brief consideration of language rights – often important constituents of the moral basis of the ‘new’ ecology – this paper also examines severalunderlying threads: notions of ecologicalhealthand culturalperpetuation, concerns for ‘small’ and indigenous systems, and disdain for aspects of modernity.
