1) Hildo Honorio De Couto ([log in to unmask]) suggested a chapter he co-authored from the recent edited volume Análise do Discurso Ecológica. Here is a link to the title:

Hildo Honorio De Couto writes:
“I think that studies in the area
you mention are difficult to find. In the book I've just announced there is a chapter in which we analyze a
dialogue ecolinguistically (pages 155-161). For Ecological
Discourse Analysis (EDA) language is basically interaction, not an
abstract system, so that the privileged object of analysis for it is just
linguistic interaction. The whole book, as well as the theory it is based on,
deals with this question. I intend to talk about this during the Graz
Ecolinguisticum (October, 2015).”
2) Richard Buttny’s ([log in to unmask]) research explores environmental discourse in public hearings and he has several publications available on his website http://works.bepress.com/richard_buttny/, two of which he recently shared with the Ecolinguistics mailing list in response to my inquiry:
Buttny, R. & Cohen, J. (2007). Drawing on the words of others at public hearings: Zoning, Wal-Mart, and the threat to the aquifer. Language in Society 36, 735–756.
Buttny, R. (2015). Contesting
hydrofracking during an inter-governmental hearing: Accounting by reworking or
challenging the question. Discourse &
Communication. 1-18
“I've been using discourse analysis to examine public hearings & more recently inter-governmental hearings on environmental controversies (attached). I'd also be curious to know of other folks using DA & related approaches to study environmental concerns.”
3) Diego Forte’s ([log in to unmask]) current and future work seems to be highly
relevant to my inquiry:

“I am new to the list, but I was brought here through the work of Eduardo Kohn, which referenced other work leading me in the direction of ecolinguistics. His book, How Forests Think, based on work in Amazonian anthropology and which I am now reading, has an excellent reference section related to work in linguistic anthropology, and may be of some use to you as well as to others in the group.”
