Abstract

The difficulty of differentiating such synonyms as way and road in the lexical system of Russian exists not just in the linguistic consciousness of Russian speaker—it is present in the theoretic studies of complex relationship between these words and in lexicographic practice as well. The article reviews how the distributive criterion of synonymity—the possibility (or impossibility) of synonymic pairs to substitute for one another in certain contexts—can serve as the basis for distinguishing their differentiating features.
