3.9 SYNONYMY AND COLLOCATIVE MEANING
have been considered similar in meaning but never fully synonyms. They belong to the same categorical conceptby Leech: girl, boy, woman, flower, pretty garden, color, village, etc., Man, car, vessel, handsome overcoat, airliner, typewriter, etc.found in the Lob and the British Corpora :, Batman, Case, Co-ed, Dress, Headdresses, Girl, Piece of seamanship, Quilt, Range of pram sets, Shoe, Shop, Sophie: Teacher (female ref.), Trick, Woman, Handsome, Cocktail cabinet, Connor Winslow, Face (male ref.), Man, Mayor, Offer, Pair of salad servers, Person (male ref.), (Red brocade) curtains, Son, Staircase, Sub-Alpine gloom, Trees, Vessel, Volume (book) , Woman, `pretty« female nouns, `handsome» male nouns.is the first division we could make but there are more differences.
