Synonyms are not always exactly the same in meaning, but it is important not to change the
register. Firm is a good synonym for company, but boss is too informal to use for manager.
Synonyms are also needed when paraphrasing or note-taking to avoid plagiarism. The
accuracy of a synonym is often dependent on context.

Both pupil and student could be used to identify a 15-yearold schoolgirl, but when she goes
to university only student is normally used. Scholar might be a possible synonym, but it is
very formal. Similarly, at university a lecturer could also be called a teacher, but in school
the only possible synonym for teacher is the old-fashioned master or mistress. Many basic
words, e.g. culture, economy, society or science, have no effective synonyms.
