The article is devoted to the problem of functioning of the semantic feature of perceptivity in verbal predicates in descriptive and narrative texts. The study of the se- mantics of verbal predicates in a text is impossible without taking into account the feature of perceptivity, which refers to the use of certain linguistic means that indicate the repre- sentation of observed phenomena. Perceptivity is the main semantic component of a literary text, which is actualized in verbs that function in the text. The article studies the features of verbal predicates of perception, considers static verbs in a descriptive text, as well as verbs of active perception denoting specific actions in a narrative text. We have carried out a semantic analysis of some verbs of active and passive perception using examples from literary texts, revealed the features of functioning of per- ception in verbal predicates.
