Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities of applying the methodology of cognitive ecology to the agenda of destructive communication. Destructive communication is defined as a special type of interaction, which is based on a destructive communicative intention, which is in turn realized in a number of aggressive communicative actions. However, classifying destructive communication as an exclusively emotional type leaves open the question of the place and role of the rational component of destructiveness in communication. The article proves that it is cognitive ecology as a new direction of cognitive research that can offer a holistic and comprehensive approach to the study of destructive communication. As the main research method, the indicated approach includes a holistic analysis of both linguistic structures and social, situational, biological, i.e. non-verbal components, allowing us to understand the mechanisms underlying the destructive, i.e. ecologically irrelevant, communicative behavior. From the perspective of cognitive ecology, Russian-language situations of open and hidden destructive communication are analyzed in various types of discourse. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a new interdisciplinary scientific direction –cognitive linguoecology, within which language will be considered as a specific tool that ensures the functioning of the entire cognitive system, which will make it possible to understand the mechanisms of ecological behavior of the human being as its subject.

In recent years, linguoecological research has gone far beyond the initial idea put forward by E
In the works of linguoecologists, it is repeatedly noted that modern humanities are characterized by a tendency towards "ecologicality", which means the transfer and use of the concepts and terminology of biological ecology to the field of humanitarian disciplines
Summary
Linguoecological research has gone far beyond the initial idea put forward by E. In 2013, the collective monograph "Emotive linguoecology in modern communicative space" was published, which gave rise to a subsidiary branch of linguoecology and emotiology – emotive linguoecology. The tasks of this discipline include a wide range of scientific problems, ranging from the development of criteria for “emotive ecologicality” Based on the postulates of emotive linguoecology, in the process of studying the role of “aggressive” emotions in stimulating non-ecological interpersonal communication, a special type of communication was identified, which was called destructive communication [4]
