EMERGENCE AND STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OF FIRST SYNONYM DICTIONARIES

Аннотация

Introduction. Synonyms are formed from the combination of the Greek words
syn "together" + onoma "name", which is an important means of increasing the
effectiveness of speech, a clearer, more vivid, logical and diverse expression of
thought. In the existing scientific literature, it is reflected that synonymous words in
the working definition belong to the same category, are written, pronounced
differently, but have the same or similar meanings. Synonymy is a very multifaceted
phenomenon, and most of the definitions given do not fully cover the essence of
synonymy. Therefore, from the earliest days of linguistics, there was a strong interest
in discovering the essence of these means of artistic representation, recording their
meaning, compiling lists.
