Abstract
Description
This article examines synonymy as a multidimensional phenomenon in the English lexical system,
focusing on its historical development, structural diversity, and stylistic functions. It establishes
that complete semantic identity between lexical units is absent; the English language exhibits
an exceptionally rich synonymous system, formed as a result of centuries of language contact,
cultural interaction, and borrowing processes.
