Author:  T.L. Verkhoturova

Abstract
The article addresses the issue of cognitive interactions of language and perception.

An attempt is made to investigate different interpretations of this cognitive figure. The model of the situation of observation is offered, and a variety of its actual realizations through the paradigm of the verbs of perception is studied.
