Unfortunately, there is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot enough working time to have a look at the whole language or at least a large\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epart of it. Therefore, I decided to choose several texts dealing with the same topic,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhich precisely is the 11th September 2001 (the terror attacks against the United\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStates of America). This seems to be a good basis for finding a lot of synonyms or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esynonymous expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe working process is structured as follows: First, it is necessary to define the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eterm ¿synonymy¿ because there are two different opinions about it. On the one\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehand, some linguists are convinced that there is no total synonymy at all and on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe other hand, another group of linguists states that such a kind of synonymy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexists but it occurs only rarely. A further look on those definitions will provide a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclearer distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the main work has to be done. There are many texts available, which will\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eserve to find a satisfying answer to the stated question. These texts, which I found\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the Internet, are from daily American and British newspapers, speeches of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epoliticians, eyewitness reports, TV reports, political magazines and private\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternet discussions. Certainly, these texts and articles contain a lot of material to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ework with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the last part of the termpaper will represent the results of this process ¿\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe justification of total synonymy or its rejection.
