In contrast to other branches of linguistics that concentrate on the function of language in human-to-human communication without taking the broader environmental context into account, ecolinguistics concentrates on the function of language in increasing the importance and prominence of the non-human world. The study investigates whether the salience patterns mentioned by Stibbe (2015) in his framework of ecolinguistics are present in the novel and whether they are employed for the same purpose, i.e., foregrounding the non-human species and presenting them as important and worthy of consideration. The paper adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to the analysis of the novel, surveying the linguistic and discursive elements which construct the salience and high prominence of the non-human living beings. Based on the analysis of the salience techniques and how they contribute to the revelation of the prevalent ecological ideology in the novel, its text is assessed as to whether it exemplifies a beneficial, ambivalent, or destructive ecological discourse. The analysis reveals that five linguistic devices are used to give","PeriodicalId":484465,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Translation (Print)","volume":"59 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136232594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, he documents the facts using the tribunal theatre, a genre derived from documentary theatre. Mary Canal’s theory of Inclusionary and Exclusionary otherness, as expounded in her article “Othering: Toward Understanding of Difference,” is adopted as a methodology. The paper attempts to find answers to the following questions: How are documentary theatre and its offshoot tribunal theatre used as revolutionary theatres? What are the forms of othering present in the play? How is gender bias present even in resistance? How does religion become an underlying cause for Inclusionary othering? The paper concludes that politics, religion, and gender are fused in the experience of the tribunal theatre of the Vietnam War.","PeriodicalId":484465,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Translation (Print)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136152808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It integrates the feminist theory with the ecological theory to study and address all types of dominance. Therefore, it is an ideology that links patriarchal and capitalist supremacy to climate change, gender equality, and social injustice. This paper tries to apply the ecofeminist theory to Caridad Svich’s play The Way of the World (2013) to show how women have been depicted in environmental injustice. It tries to reveal the main reason for women and nature’s oppression. Caridad Svich, who won the 2023 Flora Roberts Award from The Dramatists Guild, is a US Latina playwright who has written more than 50 plays and has received many prizes that testify to her success. In her play The Way of Water , Svich depicts how ecological disasters affects humans and nonhumans. This paper tries to focus on the effect of that ecological crises on women as well as nature and to expose the dominant power which causes their degradation.","PeriodicalId":484465,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Translation (Print)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136198372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
