Information about synonyms

Information about synonyms.
A synonym is a word,morpheme or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word,morpheme or phrase in a given language.For example ,in the English language , the words begin,start,commence and initate are all synonyms of one another: they are synonymous.The standart test for synonymy is subsituation:one form can be replaced by another in a sentence without changing its meaning.Words are considered synonymous in only one particular sense:for example,long and extended in the context long time or extended time are synonymous, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family.Synonyms with exactly the same meaning share a seme or denotational sememe, whereas those with inexactly similar meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe and thus overlap within a semantic field. The former are sometimes called cognitive synonyms and the latter, near-synonyms ,plesionyms or poecilonyms.
Synonym is borrowed from Latin synonymum,in turn borrowed from Ancient Greek synonymon,composed of -syn and –onym, a form of onoma.
Synonyms can be any part of speech,as long as both words belong to the same part of speech.
Examples:
*noun:drink and beverage
*verb: buy and purchase
*adverb:big and large
*preposition:on and upon.
