Abstract
The paper proposes an analysis of the idioms that have reference to the modus of gustatory perception. The main goal of the paper is to study structural and semantic features of the idioms belonging to this group as well as to consider cognitive and stylistic characteristics of their representation in English literary texts, specifically in W. S. Maugham’s novels “Theatre” and “The Razor’s Edge”. The classifications of the idioms according to the perceptive predicates and to their abilities to characterize either a perceptive subject, or a perceptive object, or perceptive activity itself are presented. The features of their usage in fiction are in the focus of attention.
