Abstract. The article aims to analyze syntactic constructions of a complex object. The author argues for her approach to consider the English language as a language characterized by evidential strategy. The paper proves the presence of a visible evidential strategy in the English language on the basis of the facts of differentiating the situation of perception according to level of coverage which is grammaticalized by the forms of infinitive Indefinite and Participle I in the Complex Object construction, and also on the basis of changing the meanings of the verbs of perception out of the Complex Object constructions.
Key words and phrases:
эвиденциальность
перцептивность
конструкции сложного дополнения
эвиденциальная стратегия
ситуация восприятия
evidentiality
perceptivity

evidential strategy
