Abstract

The present study is conducted in light of the changing linguistic profile of the modern world and a heightened sense of accountability for nature worldwide. The article attempts to draw inspiration from William Wordsworth’s “The World Is Too Much with Us” and reflect on its contemporary relevance, with a specific sociocultural context in contemporary China. The aim is to beware people of the withering connection with nature and alert people to the unconscious language use that is intrinsically biased against nature, with an ultimate goal of changing the way we perceive the natural world through the language glass.
