Ecosocial environment or ecosocial system is a term used in Systemic Functional Linguistics and related fields to describe a social community and the various material ecosystems that enable, support, and constrain it (Lemke 1993, 1995; see also Halliday 2003, Thibault 2004). Ecosocial systems include humans and their interactions and practices, as well as other individuals and species with whom we have co-evolved; they can also include our buildings and tools, landforms and climate, education, politics, warfare, and so on (Lemke 1993, 1995). These systems are simultaneously both material and socio-semiotic.
