Semantics about Antonymy
Antonymy
is oppositeness of meaning between a word and the other word or among words in
the same part of speech, Arnold L. Glass Rutgers, Keith J. Holyoak and John I. Kiger Rutgers
discuss thi article on a Antonymy. This article attemt at analysing antonymy In
Experiment 1 false sentences involving the direct antonyms and indirect
antonyms, and Experiment 2 also investigated the degree of semantic
facilitation obtained for category-instance word pairs.
This article from used the experiment methodology, it is expected that
readers of this paper language will improve.
false sentences involving the direct antonyms and indirect
antonyms
sentences or word pairs involving direct (e.g.,
boy-girl) or indirect (e.g., boy-sister), Three distinct predictions can be made about the
outcome of a verification experiment using such sentences. First, note that the
direct antonyms (e.g., brother-sister) are if anything more similar in meaning
than the indirect antonyms (e.g., brother-female), since both pairs of concepts
differ on the gender dimension

investigated the degree of semantic facilitation
obtained for category-instance word pairs.
theoretical contrast that has emerged in models of
semantic memory involves the processes by which people evaluate sentences
asserting semantic rela- tions such as category membership (e.g., A rose is a
flower). Feature models assume that such decisions are based on a compari- son
of elementary features or attributes that define the subject and predicate
concept
Strengness and
weakness of this article is :
excess of this article has a lot of explanation about the antonymy in
the semantics with a variety of many examples, furthermore 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. Antonymy is not only about opposite of word and meaning, but there are
the direct and indirect word also.
