antonyms express oppositions where the denial of one member of the pair implies
the assertion of the other member. If not X then Y. Some examples in English
are: <SPAN class=VernacText>alive</SPAN> and <SPAN class=VernacText>dead</SPAN>,
<SPAN class=VernacText>male</SPAN> and <SPAN class=VernacText>female</SPAN>,
<SPAN class=VernacText>open</SPAN> and <SPAN class=VernacText>shut</SPAN>, <SPAN
class=VernacText>relinquish</SPAN> and <SPAN class=VernacText>retain</SPAN>. If
a person is not <SPAN class=VernacText>dead</SPAN> they are <SPAN
class=VernacText>alive</SPAN>; if a person is not <SPAN
class=VernacText>male</SPAN> they are <SPAN class=VernacText>female</SPAN>, and
so on. Other types of antonyms are Gradable antonyms (big and small) and
Converse (buy and sell).</P>

<P>Is there a widely accepted lexical relation to describe male-female pairs of
animals (e.g., boar and sow)? They seem to be (co)hyponyms of some sort;
probably not antonyms. Specifics of a Generic (pig)?<BR><BR>Well, I'll make an
end of showing my ignorance. ;-) Thanks for any
guidance,<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR></P></DIV><!-- end group email --></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><!-- end group email --></DIV></DIV></DIV>
