Abstract

Changes in language usage, especially in World Englisheses, may be traced back to the rise in environmental consciousness across the world. The present study highlights the development of eco-linguistic alterations in a number of English variants as it investigates the developing link between language, environment, and sustainability. It digs into the question of whether or not these changes aid or impede global sustainability activities by way of their impact on environmental communication. The study takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together findings from the fields of linguistics, ecology, and communication. This research explores how language both reflects and develops environmental attitudes and actions by analysing data. It also highlights the significance of encouraging environmentally responsible language usage in the context of a world that is continually evolving. Quantitative approach was used in this research. This research unveils that linguistics changes in World Englishes can aid to globalization and global sustainability efforts. This research tells us that language plays an important role in proceeding global sustainability goals.
