Finish reading chapter 6.

Do the next writing assignment:

Identify the meaning relations for the five pairs of words below (a–e), and provide linguistic evidence that supports your identification.

Possible relations include:

• simple antonyms
• gradable antonyms
• reverses
• converses
• taxonomic sisters
• hyponym–hyperonym
• meronym
• homonym
• synonym

For example, if given the pair tall and short, you would say that they were gradable antonyms, and the evidence might be providing two sentences, “John is tall,” and “John is short,” and saying that, since these two sentences are contrary, that supports tall and short being gradable antonyms.

a. sharp  dull

b. two  too

c. arm  leg

d. silver  metal

e. insert  extract
