But there are no absolute synonyms in grammar. A language does not retain side by side two means of expressing exactly the same thing.
The problem of synonymy in grammar has received due attention in linguistic investigations of recent years.
The problem of synonymy in grammar was discussed in investigations of linguists V.N Yartseva, A.N. Grozder and others. The morging of morphology, syntax and lexicon into one brings little scientific order to language learning and is always responsible for the distortion of linguistic facts.
In the first place, a distinction should be made between: 1 paradigmatic synonymy and 2) contextual or situational synonymy on the morphological and syntactic level respectively.
Synonyms of the paradigmatic group will be found in synthetical and analytical forms of the subjunctive and suppositional mood. E.g. However hard it should rain (However hard it rain), we shall have to go.
Whatever he should say (whatever he say), I shall have my own way.
The two forms in each of the given examples are identical in grammatical content, but differ in their stylistic value: the former is stylistically neutral, the latter is formal and bookish.
Paradigmatic synonyms with similiarity in function and structural features may also be exemplified by the following:
Non-emphatic Emphatic
Present Indefinite I know I do know
Past Indefinite
I knew I did know
Imperative mood Come do come
Analytical verbal forms with the intensive "do" can express a whole variety of subjective modal meanings: pleasure, admiration, affection, surprise,anger, mild reproach, encouragement, admontation, etc. E.g. Oh! Darling, don't ache! I do so hate it for you( Galsworthy. Monkey, 114) Where does he live? I did see him coming out of the hotel.
Realtively synonymous may be used in the Future Indefinite tense- forms and periphrastic "to be going to" fiiture. A simple affirmative statement of intention with no external circumstances mentioned (time, condition, reason, etc) is generally expressed by the periphrastic form. When a future action depends on the external circumstances the '4o be going to" is rare. E.g.
