Abstract:
To effectively communicate in English, a strong vocabulary is essential, and it is important to utilize synonyms to avoid repetitive usage. In English, the majority of words are near or loose synonyms rather than strict synonyms. Therefore, some words cannot be interchanged due to variations in meaning and contextual usage. This study focused on examining the similarities and differences among three synonymous verbsjoin, attend, and participatespecifically considering formality, grammatical patterns, noun collocation, and semantic preferences within American English. The data for this study was sourced from the Oxford Advanced American Dictionary (OAAD) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). A total of 300 concordance lines from the COCA corpus were manually searched and analyzed using the aforementioned criteria. The findings of this study revealed that the three synonymous verbs cannot be substituted for each other in every context due to disparities in grammatical patterns and collocations. Hence, they should be regarded as near-synonyms. Additionally, the study highlighted that not all possible patterns are provided by the dictionary. Consequently, concordance lines were utilized as supplementary sources to uncover patterns that are not explicitly provided in the dictionary. As a result, L2 learners should not solely rely on dictionary definitions but should also utilize concordance lines as an additional resource to learn how to naturally employ these synonymous verbs
