Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the problem of differentiating the meanings of synonyms, the influence of cognitive construction on the formation or modification of the meaning of a word, the representation of lexical meaning in lexicographic sources. The English verbs of positive assessment are examined as an example. The predicative unit “admire” is considered particularly. The results of the experimental study can be used in the formulation of dictionary definitions of the English verbs of positive assessment; in the process of teaching the English language; as a model for the study of factual material while writing different scientific papers.
