This slide summarizes key types of semantic relationships between words:
1. Synonymy refers to words that mean the same or nearly the same, like shut and close.
2. Antonymy refers to words with opposite meanings, like big and small.
3. Hyponymy describes a word being a type of a broader category, like bird being a hyponym of animal.

1 ILLUSTRATING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN WORDS (SEMANTIC RELATION) Semantic relations can refer to relations between concepts in the mind (called conceptual relations), or relations between words (lexical relations) or text segments. They are also sometimes called sense relations, as some linguists maintain that they relate particular senses of words (Lyons, 1977). BASIC SEMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS
Has exact match
Has broad match
Has narrow match
Has major match
Has minor match
4 TYPES OF SEMANTIC RELATIONSHIP SYNONYMY HOLONOMY
ANTONYMY POLYSYMY
HYPONYMY HOMOPHONY
HYPERNYMY
MERONYMY
5 a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
7 RELATIONAL GRADABLE ABSOLUTE A gradable antonym is one of a pair of words Words that do not exist is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings in the spectrum with opposite meanings where the two KINDS OF where the two meanings lie on a Example: meanings lie on a continuous spectrum. ANTONYMS continuous spectrum. Example: Live–dead Example: True-false Cold-hot Parent-child Tall-short Yes-no Buyer-seller Old-young Lend-borrow

a hyponym is a word that can be changed with a different and less precise word without changing the overall meaning of the phrase.
For example, pigeon, crow, eagle and seagull are all
HYPONYMY hyponyms (co-hyponyms) of bird (their hypernym). In turn,
bird is a hyponym of animal.
9 is a word with a general meaning that has basically the HYPERNYMY same meaning of a more specific word. For example, dog is a hypernym, while collie and chihuahua are more specific subordinate terms.
10 is a semantic relation used in linguistics. A meronym denotes a constituent part of, or a member of something. That is,
For example, 'finger' is a meronym of 'hand' because a finger is part of a
hand. Similarly 'wheel' is a meronym of 'automobile'.
MERONYMY Kitchen – House
Pants - Suit
11 - a word that a whole made of parts - “x” as having “y” as a component - the opposite meronymy
HOLONYMY For example…. Hand – Thumb House – Kitchen Pants – as part of suit
12 Two words that are pronounced the same The meaning of both words is clearly related
for example, wood as a product of a tree or wood an area that are
POLYSYMY made of many trees.
13 - Two words that are pronounced the same - The meaning of both words are not clearly related HOMOPHONY For example…. Bank (financial institution) Bank (side of the river)
