3. HYPONYMS
HYPONYMY IS A LESS FAMILIAR TERM TO
MOST PEOPLE THAN EITHER SYNONYMY OR
ANTONYMY, BUT IT REFERS TO A MUCH
MORE IMPORTANT SENSE RELATION.

4. HYPONYMS
HYPONYMS ARE ITEMS THAT WE
USE TO GIVE AN ESPECIFIC
EXAMPLE OF A GENERAL CONCEPT

5. HYPHONYMS
 WE CAN TEST FOR HYPONYMY BY REPLACING X
AND Y IN THE FRAME 'X IS A KIND OF Y' AND SEEING
IF THE RESULT MAKES SENSE. SO WE HAVE 'A
HORSE IS A KIND OF ANIMAL' BUT NOT 'AN ANIMAL
IS A KIND OF HORSE' AND SO ON."

8. DOMESTIC ANIMALS

9. WILD ANIMALS

10. GEMS

11. INCLUSION
"In general, there are a number of hyponyms for
each superordinate. For
example, boar and piglet are also hyponyms of the
superordinate pig, since the meaning of each of the
three words sow, boar, and piglet 'contains' the
meaning of the word pig. (Note that in defining a
word like sow, boar, or piglet, the superordinate
word pig)

12. CONCLUSION
 Thus, it is not surprising that hyponymy is
sometimes referred to as inclusion. The
superordinate is the included word and the
hyponym is the including one."
