Abstract

The article is devoted to the epistemological analysis of modern ecosemiotics and ecolinguistics, which lay at the intersection of the humanities and natural sciences. The authors believe that ecology, as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge aimed at achieving specific practical results, requires not only biological and chemical experiments and expertise, but also various research in social sciences and humanities devoted to the formation of meaning, preservation and transmission of historical ecological memory and narrative, that is ecosemiotics, ecological history, econarratology. The authors reveal the methodological effectiveness of narrative and commemorative methodological strategies in the ecological context, substantiating the interdisciplinary nature of the ecosemiotics and clarifying the boundaries of the application of these strategies.
