THE USE OF SYNONYMOUS ADJECTIVE “CLEVER” AND “SMART” IN CORPUS
1. Background
A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or
phrase in the same language. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state
of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek syn(σύν) ("with")
and onoma (ὄνομα) ("name"). An example of synonyms are the words begin, start, commence,
and initiate. Words can be synonymous when meant in certain senses, even if they are not
synonymous in all of their senses. For example, if we talk about a long time or an extended
time, long and extended are synonymous within that context. Synonyms with exact

It is a part of speech. Adjectives are something that describes something and
makes the thing sound better.
Often, the adjective is before the noun it describes. Sometimes an adjective is not followed by a
noun:
The sky is blue.
The joke she told was so funny, I could not stop laughing all day.
He went crazy.
It's still an adjective, because we could have "the blue sky", "the funny joke", and "the
crazy man". The adjective is still describing the noun though they are not side by side.
There is a tall man.
An adjective is a word that gives instant information about a noun to make a clear picture of the
noun in the mind of the reader and create a feeling of the writer.
Sometimes there are different forms of the same adjective. If one joke makes a person
laugh more than another joke, then that joke is funnier. This is called the comparative form of the
adjective. The day that is colder than any other is the coldest day. This is the superlative form of
"cold". Some adjectives need additional words when we want to compare them. For instance, one
car may be cheaper than another, but the second car may be more reliable. (We use
In “The Treasure Of Lemon Brown” the author uses descriptive adjective to develop the mood and the characters of the story. First, the story talks about “The small pale green kitchen”.

Second, the story states “Then returned the graffiti-scarred building to the grim building.” This helps describe the mood, bleak
...is a similar correlation. They use words such “Dude” to refer to one another. The context is exactly the same but one missing variable. This variable is the history in which accompanies the word.
A major part of every college campus is the Greek system. Although, many times it goes unnoticed there is major segregation among the fraternities and sororities in the south. Why is such an important issue often overlooked? We need to be more aware of segregation because in many cases it causes conflict. What if an African American wanted to join a traditionally white fraternity or sorority or vise versa? The chances of him/her getting in are pretty slim. In fact, it would be most likely that they would not. The walls of race and the barriers from so-called ?traditions? in the Greek system should be broken in order to diversify the organizations and lead to the changes necessary to end segregation and discrimination for good.

The main reason for Persian failures between 490 B.C. and 479 B.C. was not because the Persians made more mistakes than the Greeks did, but instead because the Greeks had superior armour and weapons and tactics. During certain battles the geography was also a disadvantage to the Persians and helped in their loss.

The main difference between Greek and Roman warfare was the formations that they fought in. The Grecian armies all used the phalanx as a fighting formation while the Romans used the maniple. The phalanx was one mass formation that consisted of infantry eight deep. The maniple formation was actually a group of formations in a checkerboard pattern. Each maniple consisted of about 120 men and when employed in Italy, the Romans used thirty maniples. The maniple proved to be a better formation, because the phalanx left no room for maneuvering after engagement.

Meronymy occurs when two lexical items are related as whole to part (or vice versa). Similarly to the hyponymy, the directionality of the relation determines under which category the relations is ranked. To differentiate them, in hyponym, an item is a kind of another item, in meronymy, an item is a part of another item (Eggins, 2004; Emilia, 2014; Halliday and Hasan, 1985). A simple example is taken from The Story of an Hour (Eggins, 2004)
