Write down five pairs of words: 1. simple antonyms, 2. gradable antonyms, 3. reverses, 4. taxonomic sisters, and 5. a hyperonym and a hyponym. Do not use pairs that are included in the slides or in the textbook. For each pair, provide at least one type of linguistic evidence (e.g. example sentences) that supports your decision, and explain the relevance of the evidence.

An example for one of these word pairs is provided below.

Simple Antonyms
on and off

When simple antonyms are used in an otherwise identical pair of sentences, the sentences will be contradictory: one must be true, and the other false.

a. The light is on.
b. The light is off.

These sentences are contradictory: the light must be either on or off. It cannot be both, and it cannot be neither. Therefore, on and off are simple antonyms.
