ON THE NECESSITY OF STUDYING INTERLANGUAGE SYNONYMY

Abstract

The paper shows the necessity of setting and studying a problem of interlanguage synonymy, which remains one of the least studied phenomena in the theory of language, despite the extensive body of comparative studies of linguistic units in phonetics, vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. Meanwhile, in the context of the increasing integration of peoples and countries, as well as the limited number of bilingual synonymous dictionaries necessary for choosing a linguistic sign in an intercultural dialogue, the solution of the problem of interlingual synonymy, which allows for the accurate transmission of the subtlest nuances of the meaning of linguistic units when translating from one language to another, becomes particularly relevant. The principle of describing interlingual synonymy, the principle of integration, has been identified and substantiated, which constitutes the novelty of the research. The integrative nature of the research manifests itself in the following. Firstly, it is important to consider not individual, isolated units of languages in the field of interlingual synonymy, but the interaction of all synonyms that belong to a homogeneous semantic space in the compared languages. Secondly, it is crucial to consider the language, culture, and characteristics of the linguistic personality that has formed within them in their interaction.
