2. What is antonyms?
• “A type of sense relation expressing the meaning of oppositeness;
for example, the contrast between hot and cold. A distinction is
sometimes drawn between gradable antonyms, where it is possible
to express degrees of the difference (as with hot and cold), and
ungradable antonyms, where there is an either /or conrast (as with
single and married) David Crystal, EDLL: 22
• “Relation in the lexicon between words that have opposite
meanings: e.g. tall is in its basic sense an antonym of short. For
types of oppositeness, which may not be classed as antonym in
particular treatments, see complementarity; converse terms;
gradable antonymy.” ODLinguistics:20
• “Эсрэг тэсрэг шинж чанар нь төгс төгөлдөр ялгаа юм.” Энэ нь
алив юмс болоод түүний шинж, орон цагийн туйлын хязгаарыг
зааж, эсрэгцэл нь тэнцүү буюу тэгш хэмтэй байхыг хэлжээ.
