“…As a result, they might fail in uncovering promotional tourism texts (and their producers), which greenwash their activities by exploiting eco(-)lodge as a catchword. Within ecolexicography, in case of controversial entries, or entries which support an unfavourable representation of reality, especially in terms of ecological consciousness, Liu et al (2021) recommend direct intervention through the modification or update of the former. They suggest five main ways of 'reframing the dictionary discourse: warning, commenting, refining, questioning and neutralizing' (p. 305).…”

Lexical Innovation in Ecotourism Discourse: The Case of Eco(-)lodge

As repositories of the cultures whose language they describe, lexicographical resources partake in the (re)production of dominant ideologies. This is especially relevant with regard to the current ecological crisis. With this in mind, the present article contributes to research within the field of ecolexicography. Combining critical lexicography with ecolinguistics, it acknowledges the role of lexicographical resources in shaping the users’ awareness of environmental protection. In particular, this study investigates lexical innovation within ecotourism discourse in order to understand whether “ecotourism talk” can respond to its sustainable objectives. The research focusses on one specific instance, the noun eco(-)lodge, which is examined by searching both native speakers’ and learners’ dictionaries and specialised and general English corpora. Results highlight a partial clash between the two types of sources. While examples of usage mostly connote ecolodges as a type of luxury and exclusive accommodation placed in natural—i.e., non-urban—contexts, dictionaries define them solely with reference to their supposed minimal environmental impact. Outcomes suggest a semantic bleaching of the combining form eco- in ecotourism discourse, which is exploited in lexical creations to advertise a form of niche tourism that does not always align with ecological concerns.

“…Along with the rapid development of science and technology, the application of digital media art is becoming increasingly widespread. The application of digital media, a new form and novel technology in art, has a broad development prospect and market appeal and is flourishing, but because the country is in its infancy, the related theory and technology are not perfect and mature [2]. In this context, this thesis takes digital media art as the research object, deeply studies and explores the application cases of digital media art in display design, and summarizes the relevant theoretical exploration and forward-looking prediction for the future.…”

In this paper, we design a corpus-based 3D animation digital media system to improve the accuracy of 3D animation generation and realize crossplatform animation display. The corpus module extracts high-precision data through web crawling, web cleaning, Chinese word separation, and text classification steps; the character animation generation module uses the semantic description method to expand the frame information description of the extracted data, calculates the object spatial 3D coordinates, and uses the built-in animation execution script to generate 3D character animation; the improved digital media player module uses the improved digital media player to realize crossplatform display of 3D character animations using the improved digital media player. By constructing multidimensional character relationships and combining multiple visualization methods, the complex and multifaceted social relationship network is made available to users in an intuitive and more acceptable and understandable mode. Through a large number of user surveys, it is proved that the visual analysis method combining real social and virtual social proposed in this paper provides a more adequate and reliable basis for friend recommendation and social network analysis; the combination of multiple character relationships with geographical information and the use of visualization to describe multidimensional historical character relationships provides a new research perspective for the research and exploration of humanistic neighborhoods. The experimental results prove that the designed system can effectively read known contents and extract keywords and generate 3D animation based on keyword features, with a high accuracy rate, fast response time, small frame loss rate, and crossplatform display animation advantages.
