Description
This book serves as an essential reference for understanding the complex landscape of public opinions regarding climate change in Malaysia. Using a multi-dimensional critical analysis to examine the public opinion discourse in two online newspapers, this book aims to equip readers with a heightened awareness of how language shapes understanding, instil beliefs, and drives action or inaction towards this global crisis. It aims to raise readers' awareness about fostering increased public engagement, drawing on Malaysia as a case study to motivate active participation in the critical dialogues that influence the future of the planet. The book also offers possible implications for public understanding of climate change in Malaysia, and implications for climate mitigation policies. The book will be of interest to the public, academics, researchers, students, and practitioners in applied linguistics, corpus linguistics, media and communication studies, and sociolinguistics.
