Abstract: The paper reveals the principles of language modelling of perception within the framework of an altered state of consciousness leading to a perceptual sphere transformation of art fiction subject. In the unreal situation, the object of perception activity is consciousness, and the results are mental constructs that allow one to understand ontological questions and to open the knowledge beyond one's comprehension in the normal consciousness state. The linguistic means of actualizing the perceptual modes and their functioning in the process of linguistic modelling of unreality are in the centre of this research. The perceptual modes are of special interest in view of their way of representation of unreality and its perception as they have a key meaning for both the semantic and structural aspects of art fiction content. Perceptual modes function to organise the main components of subject consciousness. The different means of expression of perceptive semantics: lexical, grammatical, syntactical-formal ones are analysed in the novel «Generation «P» by V. Pelevin. Particular attention is paid to the verbal predicates, which, creating a semantic field of the observability, gain a role of perceptive situation markers, signalling about an extent of subject expression, presence and character of the object perceived. Thus, a purpose of the research is to find the linguistic representation of perceptual modes and its functioning in the linguistic modelling process of unreal situation and objects, suggesting a study of the art fiction elements in the aspect of perceptual semantics.
