device to compose a verbose and scintillating text. This list provides some examples of
commonly employed synonyms.
Utilizing synonyms is an elegant and frequently applied method to to make a text more
pleasant to read. If the same word is used very often in several sentences, it might very well
be the case, that this same word should describe something different in each of the sentences.Since synonyms are usually nuanced variations with slightly different meanings, their use
will emphasize special characteristics, and thus the text will be more precise.
Students are more likely to use a word in writing and speaking if they have some context
when they learn it. Thus, an important aspect of vocabulary buildup is teaching words in
related groups. A Students vocabulary is augmented and the writing is enriched when
students are encouraged to utilize a variety of synonyms so that readers can "see, taste, and
feel" what they write.

The following words all describe manners of speaking or tones of voice (often reflecting
the emotional state of the speaker) and should be used when necessary and appropriate.
said babble bark bawl beam
bellow bleat blurt boast brag
cajol cheer choke chuckle cough
crow cry drawl fret fulminate
gasp giggle groan growl grumble
grunt hiss holler howl jeer
laugh lisp marvel mimick moan
mumble murmurmutter muse nod
pant pipe quaver rant roar
scold scream screech shout shriek
sigh sing smile smirk snap
snarl sneer sneeze snicker sniff
snort sob sputter squawk squeak
stammerstorm thunder trumpetvociferate
wail weep whimperwhine whisper
worry yell
It is not recommended to just use said. Try to balance your dialogue words between said
and its synonyms. Said is a mighty verb (to be exact: Past tense and past participle of
say)! There are times when it makes sense to use it. Other times, it's a proper idea to
select a synonym instead of said. A distinguished writer employs alternatives, oftenharmonizing the use of similar words. Have a look at some of your favorite novels, short
stories, newspaper and magazine articles to help you to dwell further into this subject.
