Word meaning related to words

Below is a massive list of word meaning words — that is, words related to word meaning. The top 4 are: acceptation, sense, signified and phrase. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with word meaning, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common word meaning terms by using the menu below, and there’s also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get word meaning words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter «acceptation» and click «filter», and it’d give you words that are related to word meaning and acceptation.

You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words’ direct semantic similarity to word meaning, then there’s probably no need for this.

There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of word meaning in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with word meaning — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a word meaning vocabulary list, or just a general word meaning word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as word meaning (though it still might be handy for that).

If you’re looking for names related to word meaning (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren’t all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with word meaning, then it’s obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with word meaning.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the list below, or if there’s some sort of bug and it’s not displaying word meaning related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site — I hope it is useful to you! 🐂

That’s about all the word meaning related words we’ve got! I hope this list of word meaning terms was useful to you in some way or another. The words down here at the bottom of the list will be in some way associated with word meaning, but perhaps tenuously (if you’ve currenly got it sorted by relevance, that is). If you have any feedback for the site, please share it here, but please note this is only a hobby project, so I may not be able to make regular updates to the site. Have a nice day! 🐐

Every teacher wonders how to teach a word to students, so that it stays with them and they can actually use it in the context in an appropriate form. Have your students ever struggled with knowing what part of the speech the word is (knowing nothing about terminologies and word relations) and thus using it in the wrong way? What if we start to teach learners of foriegn languages the basic relations between words instead of torturing them to memorize just the usage of the word in specific contexts?

Let’s firstly try to recall what semantic relations between words are. Semantic relations are the associations that exist between the meanings of words (semantic relationships at word level), between the meanings of phrases, or between the meanings of sentences (semantic relationships at phrase or sentence level). Let’s look at each of them separately.

Word Level

At word level we differentiate between semantic relations:

  • Synonyms — words that have the same (or nearly the same) meaning and belong to the same part of speech, but are spelled differently. E.g. big-large, small-tiny, to begin — to start, etc. Of course, here we need to mention that no 2 words can have the exact same meaning. There are differences in shades of meaning, exaggerated, diminutive nature, etc. 
  • Antonyms — semantic relationship that exists between two (or more) words that have opposite meanings. These words belong to the same grammatical category (both are nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc.). They share almost all their semantic features except one. (Fromkin & Rodman, 1998) E.g.
    4 Skyteach
  • Homonyms — the relationship that exists between two (or more) words which belong to the same grammatical category, have the same spelling, may or may not have the same pronunciation, but have different meanings and origins. E.g. to lie (= to rest) and to lie (= not to tell the truth); When used in a context, they can be misunderstood especially if the person knows only one meaning of the word.

Other semantic relations include hyponymy, polysemy and metonymy which you might want to look into when teaching/learning English as a foreign language.

At Phrase and Sentence Level

Here we are talking about paraphrases, collocations, ambiguity, etc.

  • Paraphrase — the expression of the meaning of a word, phrase or sentence using other words, phrases or sentences which have (almost) the same meaning. Here we need to differentiate between lexical and structural paraphrase. E.g.

    Lexical — I am tired = I am exhausted.
    Structural — He gave the book to me = He gave me the book.

  • Ambiguity — functionality of having two or more distinct meanings or interpretations. You can read more about its types here.
  • Collocations — combinations of two or more words that often occur together in speech and writing. Among the possible combinations are verbs + nouns, adjectives + nouns, adverbs + adjectives, etc. Idiomatic phrases can also sometimes be considered as collocations. E.g. ‘bear with me’, ‘round and about’, ‘salt and pepper’, etc.

So, what does it mean to know a word? 
Knowing a word means knowing all of its semantic relations and usages.

Why is it useful? 
It helps to understand the flow of the language, its possibilities, occurrences, etc.better.

Should it be taught to EFL learners? 
Maybe not in that many details and terminology, but definitely yes if you want your learners to study the language in depth, not just superficially.

How should it be taught?
Not as a separate phenomenon, but together with introducing a new word/phrase, so that students have a chance to create associations and base their understanding on real examples. You can give semantic relations and usages, ask students to look up in the dictionary, brainstorm ideas in pairs and so on.  

Let us know what you do to help your students learn the semantic relations between the words and whether it helps.

3. Synonyms in English

4. Antonyms in English

1.
Classification of lexical groups

Unlike most
codes, there is no
one-to-one
relationship between meanings and signs in a natural language. When
several related meanings are associated with one written or spoken
word, that word is called polysemantic;
when two or more unrelated meanings are associated with the same form
– these are homonyms,
full
or
partial,
or homophones
if only their spoken forms coincide, or
homographs

if their written forms coincide but spoken do not; when two or more
different forms are associated with the same – or nearly the same –
denotational meaning these words are synonyms.
Lexicology also studies antonyms,
or words with a directly opposite or polar meaning; hyponyms
and
hyperonyms,
i.e. words whose meanings either include or are included, by meanings
of other words; word-families,
i.e. words related in meaning but different in form and belonging to
different parts of speech; and thematic
groups
of
words loosely associated in meaning. Of these, homonyms and
word-families are often brought together by dictionaries, while
synonyms and thematic groups are brought together by a thesaurus, a
conversation-book or a school textbook.

2. Homonymy in English

Homonyms
are traditionally defined as words identical in both sound and
spelling – or at least one of these aspects (homographs,
homophones) – but having different meanings. Thus match
– a competition and match
– a stick of wood for striking fire are grammatically identical and
are thus full
homonyms

whereas rose
(n) – a flower and rose
— past tense of rise are partial
homonyms

(note that in Ancient Greek homonymos was having the same name).

Homonyms
exist in many languages, but English is particularly rich in them.
They are mostly one-morpheme, one-syllable, words, numbering about
2.5 thousand. Most homonyms exist in pairs, but there are isolated
examples like baric,
bay
,
etc. that represent three or four meanings. In most cases, a pair of
homonyms is a linguistic accident of a pair of words, often of
different origin, gradually becoming identical in form. Only about 7
per cent of English homonyms are a result of splitting up of
polysemantic words. If synonyms and antonyms could be used as an
additional expressive means in a language, homonyms are of no
interest in this respect, and are hardly of any use in communication.
Moreover, as an isolated word form of this type, like sound
or fast,
may potentially assume different meanings in different contexts, a
homonym is a powerful source of ambiguity and misunderstanding.

The
ambiguity of a homonym, when it arises, may only be resolved in a
context — a
boxing match

or to
strike a match

are hardly ambiguous. If ambiguous contexts do arise, they are either
a result of carelessness on the part of the speaker or writer, or a
deliberate device of humour known as a pun.
For example, a tailor’s motto We
guarantee you a perfect fit

may be a promise of very good work – or very bad one.

Among the
factors contributing to the number of homonyms in English are the
monosyllabic character of English words and the analytical tendencies
in the language, as well as the abundance of root words. As
monosyllabic words tend to be the most frequent (according to Zipf’s
law), they tend to acquire meanings that may in the course of time
stray very
far
from the original word. If an intermediate or linking meaning falls
out of use, all connection with the original word is lost, and a new
meaning starts on its separate existence. Thus board
– a long, thin piece of wood, board
– meals provided for the day and board
– a group of people set up to examine a problem or run a business
company are no longer felt as related because a fourth meaning, a
piece of furniture, which originally held them together, dropped out
of use as it was replaced by table.
Similarly, spring

act of springing, spring
– a source of water and spring
– a season of the year are all related to the Old English verb
springan (cf. German springen), which used to mean jump and all but
disappeared in Modern English. The process is known as splitting
or
disintegration of polysemy
.

Another,
more frequent source of homonymy is the phonetic changes that words
undergo in the course of their development. As a result, two or more
words that used to be pronounced differently lose their endings, drop
unstressed syllables, mutate almost out of recognition due to
phonetic assimilation, and finally coincide. Thus niht
and kniht
used to be pronounced differently in Old English, but the initial k
was dropped in the second, although the difference in spelling was
preserved (night
–knight
).

More
typically, a borrowed word, in a final stage of its phonetic
adaptation, may coincide with either a native word or another
borrowing.

Historically,
homonyms are an interesting field of study; ironically, they are a
constant source of worry for lexicographers, teachers of English, and
specialists in information processing. The problems here
are
the criteria for distinguishing homonyms from synonyms, and
recognizing different meanings of the same homonyms. For a
lexicographer, the chief problem is establishing word boundaries. The
only reliable evidence for distinguishing different words identical
in sound form, and different meanings of the same word, is etymology.
If this is disregarded, the problem becomes almost impossible to
solve. Neither can it be ignored, for the convenience in the use of
the dictionary depends upon it.

Actual
solutions differ. English lexicographers often place phonetically
identical words showing similarity of lexical meaning within one
entry, even if they belong to different parts of speech.
English-Russian dictionaries usually make a distinction, etymology is
often disregarded if it doesn’t fit the present-day state of the
language: thus ear
in an
ear of corn

is now felt to be a metaphorical extension of the word meaning an
organ of hearing, although etymologically it’s a different word –
one is related to Latin auris,
the other to the Old English ecʒ (related to Modern English edge).

As for
those teaching English, their main problem is patterned
homonymy

which is often found in frequently used words, that may easily have
different part-of-speech meanings. That
for example, is both a conjunction and a pronoun, above
is a preposition, adverb and adjective – and there are countless
other examples. The only clue to the part-of-speech meaning of many
English
words seems to be their distribution,
or ability to occur in different environments. Nouns, for example,
have a very typical pattern of (article + adjective + noun), while a
verb typically follows a noun. So in You’d
have a bigger laugh if you laugh at yourself
,
the first laugh
is very clearly a noun while the second is a verb.

Below is a list of words related to another word. You can click words for definitions. Sorry if there’s a few unusual suggestions! The algorithm isn’t perfect, but it does a pretty good job for common-ish words. Here’s the list of words that are related to another word:

Popular Searches

Words Related to ~term~

As you’ve probably noticed, words related to «term» are listed above. Hopefully the generated list of term related words above suit your needs.

P.S. There are some problems that I’m aware of, but can’t currently fix (because they are out of the scope of this project). The main one is that individual words can have many different senses (meanings), so when you search for a word like mean, the engine doesn’t know which definition you’re referring to («bullies are mean» vs. «what do you mean?», etc.), so consider that your search query for words like term may be a bit ambiguous to the engine in that sense, and the related terms that are returned may reflect this. You might also be wondering: What type of word is ~term~?

Also check out ~term~ words on relatedwords.io for another source of associations.

Related Words

Related Words runs on several different algorithms which compete to get their results higher in the list. One such algorithm uses word embedding to convert words into many dimensional vectors which represent their meanings. The vectors of the words in your query are compared to a huge database of of pre-computed vectors to find similar words. Another algorithm crawls through Concept Net to find words which have some meaningful relationship with your query. These algorithms, and several more, are what allows Related Words to give you… related words — rather than just direct synonyms.

As well as finding words related to other words, you can enter phrases and it should give you related words and phrases, so long as the phrase/sentence you entered isn’t too long. You will probably get some weird results every now and then — that’s just the nature of the engine in its current state.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used to bring you this list of term themed words: @Planeshifter, @HubSpot, Concept Net, WordNet, and @mongodb.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this to give consistently good results, but I think it’s at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.
