韩礼德在1990年的语言学大会上的发言推动生态语言学的研究热潮以来,很多研究者引用了韩礼德的发言概要,并且引用不可数名词对生态的影响为佐证。然而经过仔细分析生态语言学和不可数名词就会进一步的认识,不可数名词中只有物质名词才与生态有真正的实际关联,而不可数名词的概念和用法本身符合客观世界和人们的认知活动,没有直接的生态威胁,只有人们的主观活动才导致了生态环境的恶化。 Halliday’s speech at the 1990 Linguistics Conference promoted the research craze in ecologists, and many researchers quoted Halliday’s speeches and cite the influence of uncountable nouns on the ecology. However, after careful analysis of ecological linguistics and uncountable nouns will be further understanding, only the uncountable nouns have a real and ecological real relationship, and the concept and usage of uncountable nouns in line with the objective world and people’s cognition Activities, there is no direct ecological threat, only people’s subjective activities led to the deterioration of the ecological environment.
