Syntactic Patterns of Reporting Perceptual Experiences in English

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper explores the syntactic structures used to report perceptual experiences in English. Drawing on corpus-based analyses and comparative linguistic studies, it examines the ways in which sensory verbs such as see, hear, feel, smell, and taste are embedded in a variety of clauses. Special attention is paid to how complements and subordinate clauses serve to convey different degrees of speaker subjectivity. The study also incorporates perspectives from Uzbek linguists, highlighting comparative aspects between English and Uzbek syntax. Findings underscore the complexity and flexibility of English reporting verbs and provide insights for cross-linguistic research.
