Abstract
With the aid of Systemic Functional Grammar and Environmental Semiotics, this study examines the relationship between language and environment in Vincent Egbuson's Love My Planet. Specifically, it interprets the lexico-semantic features of text within an ecological perspective. Focusing on how Egbuson employs language to convey environmental themes, promote sustainability, and raise awareness about ecological issues. Through the deployment of lexical choices and various rhetorical strategies, the study reveals that the language in the text is not merely aesthetic but integral to the communication of how language functions as a tool for meaning-making. The study also shows that poet's use of vivid imagery, metaphor, and symbolism to depict the beauty and fragility of the natural world. In addition, the study demonstrates how Egbuson's language shapes readers' perceptions of the environment and encourages them to take action towards environmental conservation. The study concludes by showing how idiosyncratic styles reinforce the thematic essence of the text. This enriching the understanding of how stylistic choices convey the complex issues facing the Niger Delta State, region etc. This paper contributes to the fields of environmental semiotics, eco-linguistics and environmental literary studies, offering insights into the role of language in promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.
