Abstract—The article discusses the prerequisites for the
development of emotive linguoecology – a new branch of
Russian science. The article also analyzes the society's demand
in a linguoecological approach to emotions. Taking into
account the almost ten-year existence of the mentioned
scientific area, the concept of ecology is being reconsidered.
The examples of ecological and non-ecological texts are given.
Integration of emotive and linguoecological competences is also
comprehended. Trends in the development of emotive
linguoecology are predicted. The article continues a series of
previous works by its author. The motivation of the proposed
and described approach to emotive linguoecology in this article
is epistemological interest, dictated by three factors. Firstly, by
the fact that we have witnessed the birth of this science,
secondly, by the extremely limited range of its adherents, and
thirdly, by the fact that the concepts of emotive linguoecology,
which seemed to be self-evident ten years ago, now provoke the
need for their systematic reinterpretation due to the vagueness
of their semantics. The works on emotive linguoecology known
to us are scattered and descriptive. They formulate important
questions that remain unanswered and outline prospects for
the development of emotive linguoecology. The decline in
scientific enthusiasm for emotive linguoecology does not seem
entirely justified. Therefore, we would like to introduce our
colleagues to this most interesting area of scientific knowledge
as one of the possible paradigms for interpreting the place of
homo sentiens in the world of ecology of emotions.
Index Terms—Emotions, homo sentiens, emotive
linguoecology, ecology of emotions.
