Each of writing - whether schoolchildren or veteran writer - had to deal with this phenomenon.It is equally interesting - and with linguistic and psychological point of view - how difficult it is to describe.After all, if all synonyms - words that are similar in meaning, belonging to one and the same part of speech other than a stylistic color or shades of meaning, the context synonyms such a description can not be.
In the specific text, all depends not only on the capabilities of the language, but on the intentions of the author.That the author is engaged in verbal gymnastics, practicing originality and uniqueness.That the author of contextual synonyms turns into words of similar meaning.Here is an example: "ineffable, blue, delicate" - is of great lyricism of Sergei Yesenin.It would seem that what is common between designated colors, sensual relationship and "nevyrazhaemogo words"?However, these adjectives in this poem is an example of what is context synonyms.They converge on value solely of the author's will.His interpretation of individual words, his metaphors and associations are not subject to the logic of language.Or another example: "thin lemon moonlight" - "Lemon" and "moon" in this case also a contextual synonyms.
Why use such means of expression?Contextual synonyms need first of all to avoid tautology.For example, "statue of Peter I», «The Bronze Horseman" and "He" would be synonyms that can be used interchangeably.The common language synonyms are words one part of the speech, which differ in spelling and sound, but have the same or very similar lexical meaning.
Stylistic synonyms may be different stylistic coloring: "eyes" - "eyes" - "Zenk" - "morgaly" - it's all one and the same body of only different stylistic means.But, say, if we meet in the text of "her blue eyes, these two aquamarine" - then we contextual synonyms.Since the language of the "eyes" and "Aquamarine" quite close in meaning.When some of the hero says, "our hero" - "Maxim" - "he" - "reckless daredevil" - this will be synonymous context.Thus, the author can avoid unnecessary and unjustified repetition and enrich their speech.
worth mentioning other types of synonyms.About stylistic we have already mentioned.Along with them there are also semantic synonyms, that is similar in meaning of the word, having, however, a unique connotation.For example, can it be considered synonymous with the word "scarlet" and "red"?Yes, only semantic: purple - a thick dark red and red - bright red, more light.But the word "poppy seed" or "wine" - is synonymous with the context that it is not necessary to have a value of "red" and will get it only in specific proposals.For example: "This ruby wine dawn" or "red, poppy shawl."
addition to semantic and stylistic language and are absolute synonyms: spelling - it is the same that the spelling, linguistics - the same as that of linguistics.Mastering synonymous wealth of the Russian language is necessary for all people who write, and good help in this would be a synonym dictionary.
