The article reveals the specificity of English verbs with the meaning of information transfer (fable, detail, narrate, paraphrase, recite, recount, rehearse, relate, retail) considering historical and structural-semantic peculiarities. Special attention is drawn to the etymological factors of formation, development and existence of meanings. On the basis of their examination the authors come to the conclusion about the importance of conceptual description of verbs with the meaning of the information transfer that contribute to the reconstruction of the elements of linguistic worldview of this or that nation.
