Abstract

Abstract

The ecological analytical framework for discourse combines ecological sense of place with the theory of systemic functional linguistics, which provides a theoretical basis for ecolinguistic research.In light of this frame work, the research, from perspective of ecology,explores the ecological meaning of BBC news headlines about China haze and reveals the ecological approach of media reports, through a refined analysis from transitivity, mood, modality, appraisal, theme and information systems,and a comprehensive empirical analysis of the headlines.We discover that although The BBC's coverage about China haze is incomplete because news inevitably carries ideology,these headlines issue the negative reports concerning the negative ecological circumstance, and BBC news headlines about China haze have eco-beneficial features.Meanwhile, the paper may be heuristic for the news media in China.
