Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cognitive synonymy is a type of synonymy in which synonyms are so similar in meaning that they cannot be differentiated either denotatively or connotatively, that is, not even by mental associations, connotations, emotive responses, and poetic value.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synonymy is a kind of semantic relation among words. Technically, it occurs when two or more linguistic forms are used to substitute one another in any context in which their common meaning is not affected denotatively or connotatively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cognitive synonymy (sometimes called descriptive synonymy, referential synonymy or propositional synonymy) is a special relation between at least two lexemes. Examples of cognitive synonymy are: fade, die, decease, nibble off, kick the bucket.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synonymy is a relation between individual senses of words, so that a single word typically has different sets of synonyms for each of its senses. For example, coat has different synonyms for its senses ‘outer garment’ (e.g., jacket) and ‘covering layer’(e.g., layer).
