Abstract

 Tetun and Portuguese are the official languages of East Timor. Tetun is an Austronesian language and it is lingua franca in eastern half of Timor Island before the Portuguese colonization, which started in 16th century. This paper intends to present a contribution to ecolinguistic research by mapping ecological and unecological elements on Tetun grammar. Thus, some theoretical issues on ecolinguistic, ecological view of linguistic system and the importance of the identification of ecological and unecological elements will be elaborated. In addition, the ecolinguistic approach will be applied to Tetun linguistic system analysis. This ecolinguistic approach adopted in this paper is also explained. The final remarks on ecolingustic research in East Timor and its contributions will be pointed out as conclusion for this work.
