what's the difference between big and large? No doubt both of them have almost the same meanings as you look them up in dictionary. Actually, in some degree, they are different.
Big intends to be more informal than large no matter in colloquial expression or in writing We use big to describe CN in the situation of scale, degree, volume, and wight . It also can mean importance. Instead, large is used in writing frequently. We use it to depict the size or amount. Also, large is not usually used to describe people, except to avoid saying " fat"
Another wrod " great" is more formal than both above, and it often describes quality, not just size.
Good try, Eunice. But did you try corpus tools? You probably will revise your rules after corpus consultation.
