Title Cognition, Synonymy and Definitions
Abstract In this paper. I would like to show that all the existing dictionaries are insufficient for defining some synonymous words. Relevance Theory (proposed by Sperber and Wilson 1986) can capture the similarities and differences of some synonymous words not as 'conceptual' but as 'procedural' meanings. This newly developed cognitive analysis can be extended to provide the true definitions for synonymous words such as X but/except for/except Y, too/also and huh/eh.
