Summary/Abstract: The ”semantic field” is a concept relatively new into lexicology. Researchers wrote about the concept of ”semantic field”, starting with the end of the XIX-the century and the beginning of the XX-th century. They said that the ”semantic field” is a domain that pulls together words that belong to the same category from the perspective of their meanings. Sometimes, the researchers told us that into a ”semantic field”, don’t always exist words related from the point of view of their meanings. These words may have sometimes different meanings and, in spite of this, they still belong to the same ”semantic field”. In this paper, we try to bring into focus words that have the same meanings and belong to the same ”semantic field”.
