SYNONYMS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION
Qo‘chqorov Javohir , Student of Fergana State universityAbstract
This study offers a thorough examination of synonyms, including their definitions, classifications, and linguistic contexts. The study shows how minor variations in meaning, connotation, and formality impact the use of synonyms by looking at various synonym types, including absolute, relative, and cognitive synonyms. By showing how synonyms can change depending on emotional tone, register (formal vs. informal), and regional dialects, the work highlights the significance of context in choosing the right synonym. The study also explores how knowing synonyms improves communication, providing guidance for language learners, writers, and speakers.
