This paper is a written version of the communication I gave at the Symposium on Ecolinguistics organized by Jorgen Chr. Bang and Anna Vibeke Lindo at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, June 11-12, 2009. The aim of this communication was twofold. First, I was willing to share the results of my research on the ecological paradigm with people who had called themselves ecolinguists for the last twenty or thirty years and who had tried to establish an ecolinguistics theory. I then presented some of the results of my research, including the multi-dimensional analysis of the so-called seminal article launched by linguist Einar Haugen in the 1970s (Haugen, 1971) which has been very instrumental in clarifying some of the contemporary ecological explorations of language and languages.
