SYNONYMY AND ITS FEATURES

Abstract

The grouping of language units based on the same meaning is called synonymy. Firstly, synonymy is born on the basis of the semantic relationship of two or more language units. The number of units involved in such an approach cannot be limited. Secondly, these language units form a regular system within themselves. Given these properties, the units of language that form a synonymous relationship are called synonymous with one another. Synonyms are collectively referred to as a series of synonyms.
