Abstract

This book aims to investigate what the author calls ‘parasynonyms’. The author provides definitions, context and examples. This book primarily deals with vocabulary on sociability, sentiments and morality. The book contains four main chapters in which the author covers areas connected to the title of the heading. The words are grouped along meaning, and some of the subjects discussed include weather and temperature, modesty and pride and affection and deceit.
