Remember the old Soviet cartoon about good pse named Pirate?Happy, well-fed and carefree, he came to the country with his boss.Exploring the surrounding area, he met with his namesake - the neighbor's dog chain.Heart to heart talk and hear about his troubles, malnutrition and the lack of affection host, the pirates came to a disappointing conclusion: "Wow!Too Pirate, and what a difference in the life! ... "This passage is remembered not for nothing, because it perfectly explains what Paronyms.But let's not beat around the bush, but a closer look at this curious phenomenon and a bit convoluted.Although any language - this thing confusing, but interesting ... scary. So, what Paronyms?
First of all, these are words that are similar in sound but different in meaning absolutely.They generally belong to the same part of speech.To make it clearer, we give examples of : Architecture (adjective from the word "architecture") - Architectural (belonging to the architect, the adjective from the word «architect»)
There are many different classifications paronyms.Today we take a closer look at one of them.There are root Paronyms, affixal and etymological.The former include paronimic couples who have different roots, but similar sounding: sovereign - a superstitious, a conservatory - conservation .As an example can also lead Paronyms In English: contest (competition) - context (context), bride (the bride) - bribe (bribe, bribery), mouth (mouth) - mouse (mouse) .The next group - affixal.They rank as the words that have a common origin, same root, but different affixes: human - human, spectacular - an effective, pay - to pay. worth noting that the suffixed Paronyms often found in the chemical and medical terminology.For example, the suffix "-id" means salts having no oxygen atoms, and "-AT" Conversely, those molecules which contain them: sulfide - sulfate, chloride - chlorate .And the last type - etymological Paronyms.It is known that many of the words in the Russian language have come to us from other languages.In the process of borrowing it was that the same expression has come from various sources.For example, the word "gel" from the Latin gelo - «stop the motion" through the English gel, and the "jelly" - from the French gelée;"Ignorant" is derived from the Old Russian "Tower" - an experienced, knows how to behave, and "ignorant" - from the Old Slavonic "because" - "know, was in charge, you know."Similar outside, inside different
In conclusion, I want to say that everything in this world is arranged in two ways, and for good reason.On the one hand, a large number paronyms somewhere complicates life puts in awkward situations, forces to be more attentive.On the other hand, the simultaneous use of paronymic pairs - a great art and a real talent.This stylistic device is called "paronomasia" and is widely used in the literature: «He - what most daring dream, but no one had dared» (Pasternak).Therefore, as in life, and in his speech, the choice is ours - to be ignorant and confused word or enjoy the beauty of the native language.
