There is undoubtedly considerable intellectual and methodological progress evident in approaches to linguistics, from systemic and formal methods, to post-Newtonian transpersonal, non-local models of meaning co-creation built within contemporary language studies. Indeed, such changes are constant – the 20th century product orientation of linguistic research is currently being complemented by ecolinguistic processes, with the linearity of scientific perception and treatment being replaced by the dynamic and multispectral approach of “ecological” theory. This book provides a richly detailed analysis of this profound shift within contemporary language and communication research. A particularly interesting facet of this volume is the proposal that the architecture of the human organism is, transpersonally, in constant relation with its immediate surroundings, as well as with non-local multilevel surroundings. This connection is based not only on the cognitive connection of minds or neurocognitive contacts with the nervous and sensual systems of communicators, but on the multidimensional relationship between the manifold communicative modalities living systems possess. Human communication is embedded within a given local communicative situation, as well within the global, non-local environment via the basic ontology of entanglement.The human communicative process is always evolving as a result of the constant fluctuations of life processes. Indeed, the conclusions presented in this volume open up a new approach to present-day linguistics, that human language is an essential life process.

Marta Bogusławska-Tafelska is an ecolinguist and an Assistant Professor at the Department of English Studies at the University of Warmia and Mazury, Poland, where she is the coordinator of the Ecolinguistic Studies program for MA students of Linguistics. Her recent academic publications propose a paradigmatic shift in linguistics towards the ecological view of human language extending beyond a formal system or a cognitive process to encapsulate the context of the multilayer pulsation of life mechanisms. She is the co-editor of the linguistic series New Pathways in Linguistics and the author of Towards an Ecology of Language, Communication and the Mind (2013) and Self-education as a Strategy of Life: The Psycholinguistic Profile of the Polish Student of English (2006). Anna Drogosz is a cognitive linguist and an Assistant Professor at the Department of English Studies at the University of Warmia and Mazury, Poland. Dr Drogosz investigates the cognitive foundations of scientific discourse, particularly evolutionary theory, through the application of cognitive linguistics perspective and methodology. Her publications include “On the inevitability of personification in Darwin’s “Origin of Species”” in Linguistics Applied and “Metaphors of time and Darwin's Scenario of Evolution” in Prace Językoznawcze.
