Abstract
The dynamic potential of the verb taxonomy of the concept VISUAL PERCEPTION is analyzed. The model is presented as a hierarchy of visual perception verbs connected with the hierarchy of the concepts represented by these linguistic units. It’s essential that the taxonomy allows to speak not only about the knowledge actualized by dictionary meanings of the verbs as structural elements of the model but also contextually bound senses which are determined by the linguistic as well as cognitive mechanisms of functional categorization of the verbs.

Keywords:  taxonomy, profiling, conceptual metonymy, re-categorization, visual perception
