Retreating and meeting, and beating, and sheeting,
Delaying and straying and playing and spraying,
Advancing and prancing and glancing and dancing,
Recoiling, turmoiling, and toiling, and boiling,
And thumping and plumping and bumping and jumping,
And dashing and flashing and splashing and clashing;
And so never ending and always descending,
Sound and motions for ever and ever are blending;
All at once, and all o’er, with a mighty uproar, —
And in this way the water comes down at Lodore.
IV.
Keeping in mind that problems such as meaning equivalence should
be approached on the basis of ‘gradience’ because there are compara-
tively few clear-cut cases, find in the following list of words synonymic
series and classify them into three groups: a) synonyms which display
an obvious semantic difference (ideographic synonyms); b) synonyms
which display an obvious stylistic difference (stylistic synonyms);
c) synonyms more or less equally displaying both differences:
ailing, arrogant, battle, begin, behold, bicker, brawl, bright,
callous, clever, commence, conflict, conquest, consume, cruel, de-
feat, devour, diseased, dispiteous, dumb, easy, eat, engorge, facile,
fatuous, fight, food, grub, hard-boiled, haughty, high-hat, hoity-
toity, horse, ill, inept, ingest, intelligent, light, mandicate, obdu-
rate, pace, proud, quarrel, sagacious, see, shrewd, snobbish, snooty,
squabble, steed, stride, stroll, stupid, supercilious, tiff, walk.
V.
Find words synonymous with the following units and use them in
sentences:
event, feast, fellowship, manage, mendacious, temporal, thor-
ough, thrive, withdraw, zeal.
VI.
With the help of dictionaries explain the meaning each mem-
ber of the synonymic series given below:
bystander — spectator — looker-on; cry — weep — shed tears
— sob — snivel — wail — whimper; distinguished — illustrious —
famous — noted — eminent — celebrated.
