The data was collected from two dictionaries first, namely, Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (2015) and Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (2014). This was compared with the first randomly-searched three hundred concordance lines of each verb derived from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) to obtain more information not specified in the dictionaries. In addition, each synonym was distinguished by tenses and voices in order to determine the particular forms that they frequently tended to occur in. The results showed that the three verbs are near synonyms since they shared some common meanings and collocations; however, there were also some different meanings and collocations. This implies that the three synonyms can substitute for each other in certain contexts. The corpus-based study may benefit English teachers and learners in encouraging their use of corpus-based data as an additional tool for teaching and learning English language, which will in turn enhance learners’ English knowledge and skills e.g. syntax, semantics and style.","descriptionType":"Abstract"}],"geoLocations":[],"fundingReferences":[],"xml":"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","url":"http://doi.nrct.go.th/?page=resolve_doi\u0026resolve_doi=10.14457/TU.the.2015.743","contentUrl":null,"metadataVersion":0,"schemaVersion":"http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-3","source":null,"isActive":true,"state":"findable","reason":null,"viewCount":0,"viewsOverTime":[],"downloadCount":0,"downloadsOverTime":[],"referenceCount":0,"citationCount":0,"citationsOverTime":[],"partCount":0,"partOfCount":0,"versionCount":0,"versionOfCount":0,"created":"2018-01-05T03:45:18.000Z","registered":"2018-01-05T03:45:19.000Z","published":"2015","updated":"2020-09-19T20:39:58.000Z"},"relationships":{"client":{"data":{"id":"nrct.db1","type":"clients"}},"provider":{"data":{"id":"wyth","type":"providers"}},"media":{"data":{"id":"10.14457/tu.the.2015.743","type":"media"}},"references":{"data":[]},"citations":{"data":[]},"parts":{"data":[]},"partOf":{"data":[]},"versions":{"data":[]},"versionOf":{"data":[]}}}}
