Lexical Semantic Relations



Timothy Mills

Quick primer on lexical semantic relations, excerpted from the Linguistics 101 course I teach at the University of Alberta.

For more information on this topic, try the following links. (Note that the presentation of ideas is not completely parallel. In particular, Wikipedia links to a more detailed breakdown of different types of antonyms, and the slideshare link defines homophones in a somewhat different way.)

  1. Why is there no "semantics for dummies" book….. Or a book that's like a dictionary format but with semantics. Do you recommend any beginner books to learning semantics(the study of word meanings)

  2. One would think, lexical and synonym are the same, but lexical is like a isotope so to speak, it is an over all word which incompases kinds of distinctions.

  3. The relation between egg and white is not Meronym, because some time we have different kind of egg and it is color. The better example for Meronym is hand and fingers or book and papers. Well done
