Forms: form: plesionyms
Etymology: From plesio- (“close, near”) + -onym.
Senses: examples: text: It was suggested in 12.1 that propositional synonyms are 'more synonymous' than plesionyms, which, in turn, are 'more synonymous' than non-synonyms.
ref: 1986, D[avid] A[lan] Cruse, “Synonymy”, in Lexical Semantics (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics), Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, published 1997, →ISBN, section 12.4 (Congruence Relations and Synonymy), page 290:
text: An immediate question is when does a plesionym cross a "vertical distance boundary" to become a different concept?
ref: 2002, Isaac S. Kohane, editor, Bio*medical Informatics: One Discipline: The Annual Symposium of the American Medical Informatics Association, November 9–13, 2002 [...] San Antonio, TX: Proceedings, Philadelphia, Pa.: Hanley & Belfus, →ISBN, page 168, column 2:
text: Such a semantic intertextual frame arises when the lexical item 'mist' is linked to its plesionym 'fog' and an intertextual link between two texts containing these lexical items is created.
ref: 2014, Siobhan Chapman, Billy Clark, editors, Pragmatic Literary Stylistics (Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Language and Cognition), New York, N.Y.: Palgrave Macmillan, →DOI, →ISBN:
text: A word is a plesionym if it is a near-synonym, but substitution of the word does not leave the same truth conditions. For example, it 'It wasn't misty, just foggy', the words 'misty' and 'foggy' are pleisonyms of each other. […] Plesionyms are often used to indicate that the speaker is grappling after precision, but perhaps does not possess the precise vocabulary or technical term for the object in mind.

plesionymy
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From plesionym + -y.
Senses: examples: text: The line between plesionymy and cognitive synonymy can be drawn with some precision. However, the limits of plesionymy in the opposite direction along the scale of synonymity are more difficult to specify; as the semantic distance between between lexical items increases, plesionymy shades imperceptibly into non-synonymy.
ref: 2000, Tony Bex, Michael Burke, Peter Stockwell, Contextualized Stylistics: In Honour of Peter Verdonk, →ISBN, page 26:
text: Indeed an analysis in which the semantics of plesionymy (near but peculiar synonymy) can be traced through the text (see Stockwell 2000) serves only to increase the appreciation of the poetic mechanics of paranoia and disturbance in the text.
ref: 2012, Joe Bray, Alison Gibbons, Brian McHale, The Routledge Companion to Experimental Literature, →ISBN, page 58:
text: Essentially, the repeated syntactic form motivates a cognitive search for plesionymy, and a reader is forced upwards on a granularity scale until a domain is found that is plausibly common to the two elements of the plesionym.
