This article is devoted to the semic analysis and semantic classification of English persuasion verbs comparing them with the Russian and Romanian correspondents. In our article we have classified and analyzed verbs expressing persuasion and gave examples for each type of them. They are taken from different sources. We have analyzed 30 verbs of persuasion which have a common feature expressed by the dominant seme – to make sb \ sth do sth. Semic analysis offered us a possibility to notice the fact that the dominant seme is the foundation of the word, and it builds new units, creates new constructions (phrases,sentences...) we use in speech, language, to reveal the whole treasure of English synonymy.
