    SYNONYMY
    Definition

    Synonymy is the relationship


    between two predicates that have the
    same sense (the phenomenon in
    which he words that sound different
    but have the same meaning).
    For examples:
    Stubborn = obstinate, brigand = bandit, mercury =
    quicksilver.

    The Power of PowerPoint - thepopp.com


    Sometimes synonymy is defined as similarity of meaning, a
    definition which is vaguer than ours. The price we pay for our
    rather strict definition is that very few examples of synonymy, so
    defined, can be found. But the strict definition is useful as an ideal
    and we will still use it and assume that relatively good instances of
    synonymy are possible for the purpose of furthering our
    investigation into how to describe sense relations.

    NOTES!
    Types of Synonymy
    Perfect synonymy
    This type is hard to find because there is a little point in a dialect
    having two predicates with exactly have the same sense.
    For examples: Airman = Pilot, car = automobile

    Near synonymy
    This type is express the expressions that are more less than similar
    but not identical in meaning.
    For examples: Conceal = Hide, Purchase = Buy, Wide = Broad

    Partial synonymy
    Car = Vehicle

    HYPONYMY
    The Power of PowerPoint - thepopp.com
    Hyponymy is a sense relation between predicates (or
    1 something longer phrases) such that the meaning of the
    predicate (or phrase) is included in the meaning of other.

    Hyponymy is a sense relation. Another term for sense,


    2 prefer by logicians, is intention, a term deliberately
    chosen for its implicit contrast with extension.

    3 Hyponymy is defined in terms of the inclusion of the


    sense of one item in the sense of another.

    Hyponymy is the state or phenomenon that shows the


    4 relationship between more general term and the more
    specific instances of it.

    EXAMPLE : RED - SCARLET


    SCARLET is the hyponymy of RED, because SCARLET is kind of RED). RED is more general in
    meaning that its hyponymy SCARLET, which is much more specific in the kind of color it
    describes.
    The Power of PowerPoint - thepopp.com
    The sense of ANIMAL, is included in
    the sense of COW.

    If we draw a diagram of the extensions of COW & ANIMAL, the


    inclusion relationship appears the other way around.

    Converse
    Conversances if a predicate describes a relationship between two things (or
    people) and some other predicate describes the same relationship when the
    two things are mentioned in the opposite order, then the two predicate are
    CONVERSES of each other.

    Example:
    bellow – above

    Gradable Antonyms
    Two predicates are GRADABLE antonyms if they are at opposite ends of
    a continuous scale of values (a scale which typically varies according to
    the context of use).

    tall – short
    long – short
