3.2. Analysis of SMART synonyms in the English language
The material for the analysis of the synonymic group of SMART in this 
section has been collected from the dictionaries, Internet sources and literary 
texts.
It is not easy to find out which lexical unit (LU) the Internet 
lexicographers consider the core meaning of this adjective, it is so polysemous. 
There is a common agreement among lexicographers that usually synchronic 
dictionaries (and this is what online dictionaries presumably are) put the most 
frequent meaning. In case with ‘smart’ one finds diversities. One dictionary 
defines it as “capable of performing; having an innate capacity”. Another - as 
“h
aving or showing intelligence; bright”, yet another – “clean and tidy”, etc. 
The following is the definition from
