Stylistic use of synonyms

STYLISTIC USAGE OF WORD - FORMATION PATTERNS
If we approach the problem of words’ morphemic composition in terms of item and arrangement, we should be sure words are segmented into parts on the bases of patterns that can be traced in other words. If we concern ourselves with the methodology of item and process, we are interested in productivity of word-building patterns and the relationships between words which are seen as processes of derivation.
Historic development bring to life new concepts and things calling for new names described as neologisms, occasional or potential words. Not every of them becomes a part of the vocabulary according to some concepts.
The concept of lexical morphological category (A.I. Smirnitsky) is very close to the word-formation rule (R. Quirk) as they both relate to the distinction of actual and potential words, productivity and non-productivity of certain patterns. The concept of lexicalisation (G. Leech) describes the way the results of the derivation of new senses of established words are condensed into a single word. There are two types of lexicalisation: primary lexicalisations, which refer to conceptual divisions or perceptions as singled out by human mind in the process of classifying the world, and secondary lexicalisations, i.e., compound words.
Word-formation is the process of creating words from the material available after certain structural and semantic patterns. There two types of word-formation in Modern English: word-derivation (includes affixation and conversion) and word-composition (compounding). In case of derivation one stem is used in the process of word-formation; compounding implies usage of two or more stems; a special way is shortening, which may involve one or several stems.
Affixation as a way of word formation.
Affixation (prefixation and suffixation) is the formation of words by adding derivational affixes to bases. Suffixal and prefixal derivatives are different as suffixation is mostly characteristic of the noun (white ness, sing er) and adjective formation while prefixation is typical of the verb-formation (to re -read).
Classifications of derivational affixes are based on different principles such as: the part of speech formed; the lexico-grammatical character of the stem the affix is added to; its meaning; its stylistic reference; the degree of productivity; the origin of the affix.
