Synonyms and
Antonymsです。"synonyms"は「同義語」という意味で、"Antonyms"は反対に「反意語」という意味です。嘗て東進ハイスクールに勤務していた時、ベテランの講師に紹介され、使用するようになりました。
思うに動詞のパターンは5つに分類できると考えています。「存在」「形容」「移動」「作用」「発言」「思考」の5つです。この基本的な人の行動パターンを基にして、表現が多様化していったのが言語の歴史と考えております。当塾では、この5つの原点と個別具体的な動詞を結び付け学習することを推奨しております。
How to use this book- a word of caution
Anyone who knows language well will acknowledge that there is no such thing as a true synonym. that is, there are words that can be substituted
for another words, but they almost never have exactly the same meaning in the same context.
to understand this, it is important to recognize the difference between denotation, which is the meaning of a word in a given context for most
speakers of the language, and connotation, which is the meaning of a word in a given context together with ita associations Thus, a denotation of hoome is " whiere a person resides"; the
connotation of home may include such emotional overtones as "warmth, comfort, affection, good food,2 and so forth.
Another reason why words that are pften called synonyms are not always interchangeable is that language functions at different levels, some more
formal, others less formal.
