Resumen

Following on from discussions on the ‘languages and discourses’ subtheme at the 13 th Invitational Seminar on Environmental Education Research, this exploratory study in document analysis discusses various aspects of academic production on language and discourse in the area of Environmental Education (EE). The study centers on the analysis of thesis and dissertation abstracts contained in the EArte Project database, an open access digital repository of state of the art EE research in Brazil. Results suggest that the term ‘language’ appears only infrequently and then usually in relation to different forms of expression, whereas the term ‘discourse’ is far more pervasive, present in the titles of studies on a highly diverse range of research themes.
