Knowledge and Discoursepresents an ecological approach to the study of discourse in social, academic and professional practices. It brings together distinguished scholars from diverse cultures - India, China, Australia, Canada among others - and disciplines - linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy. It collectively illustrates the ecological approach by exploring how language makes connections between subjective experiences as people construct meaning and action.
