ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the ecological discourse of animal novels from ecological ethics, ecological aesthetics, and ecological reflection from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics. Taking the novel The Call of the Wild as an example, this paper delves into the transitive structure, ergative structure, and grammatical metaphors involved in the ecological discourse in the novel. By leveraging the power of literature, it calls for humanity to treat animals well and protect the environment.
