84. SYNONYMS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION.
Synonyms are words belonging to one part of speech, close in meaning and interchangeable at least in some contexts. They are characterized by the semantic relations of proximity or equivalence. The highest degree of semantic proximity is observed when the denotational meanings are similar, but the connotational (famous - notorious) or the pragmatic (fatherly - paternal) meanings differ. Synonymic dominant - the most general term potentially cont. the specific feat. of all other members of the syn. group. Sources: borrowing, word-building (lab - laboratory), phrasal verbs and set expressions, euphemisms – a shift of unpleasant meaning of a word to a more pleasant or milder one (naked – in one’s birthday suit, battle fatigue - PTSD). Russian classification: Stylistic - no interchangeability in context, because the underlying situations are different (teens - adolescents). Ideographic - differences in denotational meaning (forest - wood). Ideographic-stylistic - the lowest degree of semantic proximity, differ both in D. and C. and/or P. meanings (ask - inquire). Dialectal (lift - elevator). Contextual - similar in meaning only under certain conditions. Absolute - completely the same in meaning (stops - plosives). Western classification: absolute (total), cognitive (liberty - freedom), near-synonyms (stream-brook), cross-linguistic near-synonyms. 85.
