This study investigates the semantic variations of four synonymous verbs within the BNC and COCA. By employing a combination of corpus analysis and advanced network analysis through tools like Wmatrix 5 and NetMiner 4.0, the study identifies both semantic differences and similarities between British and American English. The research reveals that, although these verbs share common semantic domains, there are notable distinctions in their usage that reflect deeper cultural and linguistic differences between the UK and the US. This study underscores the critical importance of context in language usage, demonstrating significant variations in the connotation, frequency, and function of synonymous verbs across regional dialects. By bridging static dictionary definitions with the dynamic nature of real-world language use, this research enhances the understanding of English synonymy and strongly advocates for expanded comparative linguistic studies. This approach ultimately aims to deepen comprehension of linguistic intricacies, thereby promoting more effective communication and improved language education across various English-speaking communities.
