ABSTRACT

Amid the increasingly severe global natural eco-environment, it is necessary to build a natural ecological civilization by constructing an ecological civilization discourse. Against this background, this study compiles a corpus of natural ecological discourse in the English translation of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (short for Xi). By using Wordsmith and AntConc, this study explores the linguistic features of the ecological discourse in English translation of Xi in the following dimensions, including high-frequency words, keywords, word collocations, concordance lines. This study aims to analyze the concepts and attitudes towards natural ecology, so as to provide certain valuable insights for the construction of China’s discourse on natural ecological civilization. The study found that the natural ecology discourse involving in the English translation of Xi turned out to be ecologically beneficial.
