The рaper focuses upon the conceptual derivation of English ecological linguo-mental units formed by the metacognitive mechanism of affixation with the morphologized concept EСO-. Through it a number of lexicalized ecocentric concepts were formed, which are actively used at the verbal level of information explication, reproducing the importance of environmental friendliness. Morphologized concept ECO- participated in the formation of lexicalized concepts that are a replenishment source of such thematic categories in the ecology field as natural phenomena and cataclysms: ECOANXIETY, ECOBLING, ECOEFFIENCY, ECOSCAM, ECOCATASTROPHE, ECOINSTITUTE; environmental activities: ECOTOURISM, ECOMARKETING, ECOEVALUATION, ECOPROGRAMMING, ECOPRODUCTION, ECOAUDIT, ECOCRACY, ECOACTION, ECOWAR, ECOFEMINISM, ECOASSAY; property: ECOFAVOURABLE, ECOPRODUCTIVE, ECOACTIVE, ECOPRACTICAL, ECORECREATIONAL, ECOTONAL, subject: AECOCLOTHES, ECOFOOD, ECOMATERIALS, ECOMAGAZINES, ECOPRODUCTS, ECOBAGS, ECO-HOUSE; ECOARCHITECTURE, ECOCAR, ECOHOTEL, ECOLODGE, ECOLABEL, ECO-HOME; place of action: ECOPLANT, ECOZONE, ECOTERRITORY, ECOTOWN, ECOBURB, ECOREGION; sciences and branches: ECOPSYCHOLOGY, ECOHYDROLOGY, ECOHYDRODYNAMICS, ECOHISTORY; persons: ECOSPECIALIST, ECOCOORDINATOR, ECODEFENDER, ECOPROGRAMMER, ECOTOXICOLOGIST, ECOHYDROLOGIST, ECO-GUARD, ECOALARMIST. A significant number of lexicalized concepts represented in the study indicates the high activity of the morphological concept ECO- in terms of conceptual derivation of English environmental units. Morphologized concept ECO- provides eco-identification of English-language lexicalized concepts in the linguo-mental continuum.
