Abstract
Single-root words, especially word variants, synonyms and paronyms, are often mixed in the process of their use. The prerequisites for this are created by: 1) phonetic similarity of words, 2) common root morpheme, 3) belonging to the same part of speech, 4) identity or certain proximity of concepts of a pair (or group) of words. However, they differ significantly. The majority of synonyms for the same root, as well as word variations, have identical meanings but differ functionally and stylistically. However, unlike word variations, which have no semantic distinctions, single-root synonyms can have different shades of meaning. If the affixes of such formations are independent, then they should be qualified as synonyms if their affixes are variable, then they are variants of the word. Single–root synonyms express the same meaning, and paronyms express different meanings; single-root synonyms belong to the same semantic class, and paronyms belong to different semantic classes. Single-root synonyms and homonyms have certain structural and semantic similarities. Synonyms, like homonyms, are formed from the same root, but they differ from homonyms, both in semantic and functional-stylistic terms. Synonyms of the same root express the same concept, while homonyms express different concepts.
