A SEMANTIC SCALE OF GRADABLE ANTONYMY PAIRS
Journal Title: Науковий вісник Міжнародного гуманітарного університету. Серія «Філологія» - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The significance of the present study lies in the systemic analysis (etymological, semantic, distributional and conceptual) of gradable antonymy represented by the pair ‘rich → poor’ / ‘poor → rich’. Two separate scales ‘rich → poor’ and ‘poor → rich’ as well as the common one ‘rich → poor’ are modeled. The permutations and shifts in the scales witness to the changes in the values expressed by antonyms.
