Debate on the Application of Discourse Analysis in Geo-Environment Studies

Although political geography has been gaining popularity in China as a sub-discipline of human geography, its methodological development has been limited to the quantitative paradigm. As a widely used research method in social sciences, discourse analysis remains under-used in Chinese geo-environmen...

This study discusses the application status and prospects of discourse analysis methods in geo-environment analysis within the Chinese scholarship.
