A collection ofenglish language rescources: for teachers, writers and students of English

Definition: a synonym is a word having the same or nearly the same meaningas another word

device to compose a verbose and scintillating text. This list provides some examples of

commonly employed synonyms.

Utilizing synonyms is an elegant and frequently applied method to to make a text more

pleasant to read. If the same word is used very often in several sentences, it might very well

be the case, that this same word should describe something different in each of the sentences.Since synonyms are usually nuanced variations with slightly different meanings, their use

will emphasize special characteristics, and thus the text will be more precise.

Students are more likely to use a word in writing and speaking if they have some context

when they learn it. Thus, an important aspect of vocabulary buildup is teaching words in

related groups. A Students vocabulary is augmented and the writing is enriched when

students are encouraged to utilize a variety of synonyms so that readers can "see, taste, and

feel" what they write.

The following words all describe manners of speaking or tones of voice (often reflecting

the emotional state of the speaker) and should be used when necessary and appropriate.

said babble bark bawl beam

bellow bleat blurt boast brag

cajol cheer choke chuckle cough

crow cry drawl fret fulminate

gasp giggle groan growl grumble

grunt hiss holler howl jeer

laugh lisp marvel mimick moan

mumble murmurmutter muse nod

pant pipe quaver rant roar

scold scream screech shout shriek

sigh sing smile smirk snap

snarl sneer sneeze snicker sniff

snort sob sputter squawk squeak

stammerstorm thunder trumpetvociferate

wail weep whimperwhine whisper

worry yell

It is not recommended to just use said. Try to balance your dialogue words between said

and its synonyms. Said is a mighty verb (to be exact: Past tense and past participle of

say)! There are times when it makes sense to use it. Other times, it's a proper idea to

select a synonym instead of said. A distinguished writer employs alternatives, oftenharmonizing the use of similar words. Have a look at some of your favorite novels, short

stories, newspaper and magazine articles to help you to dwell further into this subject.
