The Semantics of Relationships

This chapter deals with the paradigmatic sense relation ofhyponymy as manifested in nouns. A number of approaches to the definition of the relation are discussed, with particular attention being given to the problems of framing a prototype-theoretical characterization. An account is offered of a number of sub-varieties ofhyponymy.
