What is "onomasiology"?
Onomasiology is the study of how different words can express the same concept or meaning. It focuses on the various terms and expressions that refer to the same idea, allowing researchers to explore synonyms and related words within a language. This field helps to understand the nuances of language and how speakers choose specific words based on context, culture, or personal preference. Onomasiology also examines how meanings can shift over time and how new words are created to describe existing ideas.
