This journal used two approaches proposed by Collinson 1939) in order to distinguish synonyms and by Taylor (2002) in order to test similarities and differences of near-synonyms. The results of this journal showed that two verbs create and product have a similarity, that is those verbs appear as a bare infinitive and in the –ed forms. The difference is verb create is usually followed by abstract objects. Meanwhile, verb produce is usually followed by objects produced in great number with a low threshold for creativity. Furthermore, there are 466 instances of create and 481 instances of produce found. The strength of this journal is data explained clearly.
