Pairs of synonymous words in Modern Greek and their systematic use to enrich the vocabulary of the students
Abstract
The modern Greek language displays a number of special characteristics due both to its long history and to a series of social developments and special circumstances that have contributed to its conservative nature, which is particularly evident in the vocabulary where synchrony is intertwined organically with a series of elements of diachrony that are to a great extent functional and productive. These findings impose for the elementary school pupils to get in touch with the diachronic side of the language as far as the vocabulary is concerned, while studying the synchronic function of the language. In the present study we present the results of an experimental teaching done to pupils of the 3rd Grade which aimed at the creative exploitation of the synonymous pairs.
