Abstract：The traditional theory of basic vocabulary does not distinguish diachronic basic words from synchronic ones. Modern Chinese basic vocabulary must be known from the synchronic perspective. The semantic classification constitution of the verbs in Dictionary of Synonyms is investigated from the basic categories of cognitive linguistics, showing that the 3 925 title words in the 1 428 small semantic classification have the nature of Basic Level Terms.
