What are synonyms?

A synonym is a word used to describe a term, morpheme, or phrase in a given language that is the exact or nearly exact equivalent. For instance, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all interchangeable synonyms in the English language. The usual test for synonymy is whether one form may be swapped for another without changing the sense of the sentence. For example, long and extended are interchangeable when used to refer to length of time or extended period of time, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family. Only one sense of a word is considered synonymous. There is a semantic field overlap when synonyms with comparable meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe, as opposed to synonyms with the exact same meaning sharing a seme or denotational sememe. The former is often referred to as a near-synonym, plesionym, or poecilonym, whilst the former is commonly referred to as a cognitive synonym.
