The ecological perspective of language has gained prominence in linguistics over the past two decades. Since its anti-representationalist and anti-cognitivist stance, the ecological approach faces a challenge in reconciling with modern linguistic theories: While the ecological approach focuses on the dynamic aspects of language, it has been criticized for needing help to account for stable linguistic meaning. To address this issue, Cognitive Linguistics is the best candidate for giving an ecological account of static meaning. Also, I introduce the concept of design to establish the ecological model of language and demonstrate how this model can describe linguistic meaning within an ecological framework. Cognitive Linguistics develops into the ecological theory of meaning through these steps, namely ecological semantics.

在过去的二十年里，语言的生态视角在语言学中占据了重要地位。由于其反表征主义和反认知主义的立场，生态学方法在与现代语言理论相协调方面面临着挑战：虽然生态学方法关注语言的动态方面，但它因需要帮助来解释稳定的语言意义而受到批评。为了解决这个问题，认知语言学是对静态意义进行生态解释的最佳候选者。此外，我还引入了设计的概念来建立语言的生态模型，并演示该模型如何在生态框架内描述语言意义。经过这些步骤，认知语言学发展成为意义的生态理论，即生态语义学。
