Semantics of contrast and semantic opposition
contrast
is considered a major category in information organization, evidenced by its
inclusion in almost all major taxonomies of rhetorical relations, from analysis
methodology that according (e.g. Hobbs
1990, Martin 1992, Mann and Thompson 1988, Asher and Lascarides 2003). Since
Lakoff
(1971), two types of contrast are generally recognized, denial of expectation
(1) and semantic opposition (2):
(1) It’s raining but I’m taking an umbrella
(2) John is tall but Bill is short. (Lakoff
1971: 133)
Chaer
(2007: 299) describes " antonym or antonym is the semantic relationship
between the two units of speech whose meaning stating the opposite, opposition,
or the contrast between one another".
Faizah
(2010: 74) explains that the antonym is a relation between the words to the
contrary or opposite meanings. Antonyms term used for the opposition standard lexical
meaning in pairs, like heat with a cold. Antonyms is called standard because of
the heat with cold still other words such a warm and lukewarm. Opposition
couple pair lexical meaning in the class are not called opposition
complementary contradictory meaning, such as male and female. Relation is also
the opposite meaning, such as the husband said his wife premises "If the
wife Tina Tono, Tono husband means Tini".
Strengness of this article is
:
excess of this article has a lot of explanation
about the antonym and the opposition in the semantics with a variety of many
examples.
weakness of this article is :
there are
some examples of the language difficult to understand.
conclusion
meaning is not only equality but there is a
difference of meaning as well. example: cold with hot, male with female, etc.
