Labour: “work” и “labour” не взаимозаменимы; labour – 1 work, especially physical work: manual labour, a labour camp – исправительно-трудовой лагерь; 2 people who work: a shortage of labour; cheap labour; skilled labour – квалифицированные рабочие, Labour Party; labour relations; a labour of Sisyphus; Sisyphean labour [,sisi‘fi:en] сизифов труд; тяжёлый и бесплодный труд – of a task impossible to complete. From the Greek myth in which Sisyphus was punished for the bad things he had done in his life with the never-ending task of rolling a large stone to the top of a hill, from which it always rolled down again.
Other words of similar meaning (e.g. to refuse v – to reject v), of opposite meaning (e.g. busy adj – idle adj; to accept v – to reject v), of different stylistic characteristics (e.g. man n – chap n – bloke n – guy n). Man – chap (coll.) – парень, малый; a good chap – славный малый; old chap – старина; chap – BrE, informal, becoming old-fashioned – used to talk about a man in a friendly way: He isn`t such a bad chap really. Bloke (coll.) тип, парень: He seemed like a nice bloke. Guy – coll. US – малый; tough guy железный малый; wise guy умник; guys (informal, especially US) a group of people of either sex: Come on, you guys!
Consequently, the main problems of paradigmatic studies are synonymy, antonymy, functional styles.
