Abstract

This article examines the functions of synonyms and antonyms in Russian spoken and written speech. Synonymy and antonymy are important lexical-semantic relations that contribute to the richness, accuracy, expressiveness, and stylistic diversity of the Russian language. Russian synonyms allow speakers and writers to avoid unnecessary repetition, clarify meaning, select contextually appropriate words, and express different emotional or stylistic shades. Although synonymous words share a common meaning, they may differ in intensity, connotation, register, and lexical compatibility.
