A synonym is one of two or more words in the same language that have the same or nearly the same meaning as another word, where the equivalence is established by linguistic convention rather than by identity of referent. A synonym pair shares semantic content while differing in phonological form and orthographic representation; the relation holds within a language at a given time and may vary across dialects, registers, or historical periods. The persistence mechanism is social convention encoded in dictionaries, usage in written and spoken communication, and linguistic teaching.
