The relationship between climate and language is multifaceted and complex. It involves the constant interplay between environmental conditions, human adaptation, cultural practices, and language use. This symposium aspires to explore the nexus between climate and language study and examine the ideological assumptions that shape the relationship between the natural world and the language used to speak about it.
