Document Summary
Opposites: antontmy, contradicion, anomaly, homonymy, polysemy, ambiguity. May have same conceptual synonymy but not in context. It is a big house/ it is a large house- conceptually synonymous (descripive meaning) It is a big idea/ it is a large idea. She is my big sister/she is my large sister. She has a red car, entails she has a car. The truth of y is contained in x, not vice versa. She does not have a red car may have a car or not. John and mary are rich-> mary is rich. John and mary are not rich mary is not rich. Mean the same thing- truth of x equals the truth of y, and vice versa. Meaning is what we can image in our mind. Depends on where you live, your experiences. Sill does not account of abstract- jusice, hydrogen. Two words that difer in only one feature. Sense is not the smallest unit of meaning- features are.
