If we want to improve the accuracy of semantic computing, the micro differences of meaning between synonyms cannot be neglected. At present, for the available lexical semantic resources represented by WordNet, much research on the macro semantic relations between concepts have been done, but the description of the micro differences of meaning between synonyms is not enough. This paper reveals four systematic characters of synonymous paradigm in Chinese, according to which the corresponding variables can be designed to make a systematic formalized description of micro differences of meaning between synonyms.
