Folia Linguistica, 2017AbstractIn the structuralist view, the distinction between scalar and complementary adjectival antonyms plays an important role in definitions and classifications of antonyms. Scalar adjectival antonyms are gradable and can be combined with degree modifiers (

A Lexico-Syntactic Analysis of Antonym Co-Occurrence in Spoken English
Text and Talk, 2006 Antonymy has always been regarded as a key lexical relation (see Leech 1974; Lyons 1977; or Cruse 1986). Recently, corpus data have allowed for the co-occurrence frequency of antonym pairs to be quantified and the various discourse functions of antonymy ...

The study of antonyms (or 'opposites') in a language can provide important insight into word meaning and discourse structures. This book provides an extensive investigation of antonyms in English and offers an innovative model of how we mentally organize concepts and how we perceive contrasts between them.

Argumentation, 2003
Adjectives can be gradable or non-gradable and this aspect of their meaning is responsible for their different distribution and also for their classification into two different classes of antonyms. Non-gradable antonyms are called contradictories: they are neither true nor false together and exclude any middle term; gradable antonyms are called ...

The appreciation of antonymic contrasts in aphasia
Brain and Language, 1978Abstract To secure information on the ability of aphasic patients to comprehend antonymic relations, the kinds of confusions typically made, and the extent to which antonymic sensitivity depends upon mode of presentation and task demands, three linguistic and nonlinguistic tests were administered to aphasic patients, right hemisphere-damaged patients,

On antonym and negate in fuzzy logic
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 1999The paper analyses the antonyms in natural language and the possibility to model their meaning using fuzzy set theory. The presentation is extensional, when the meaning of words of natural language is modeled using fuzzy sets being functions on some universe. A specific case is supposed when the universe is formed by an interval of real numbers.

Are the marked members of antonym-pairs such as long – short decomposed in the syntax? Büring has recently argued that they are, on the basis of evidence about the distribution of Rullmann-ambiguities and crosspolar anomalies. But the readings of marked antonyms in the complements of matrix modals seem to argue for the opposite conclusion.

Pattern-based synonym and antonym extraction
Proceedings of the 48th Annual Southeast Regional Conference, 2010Many research studies adopt manually selected patterns for semantic relation extraction. However, manually identifying and discovering patterns is time consuming and it is difficult to discover all potential candidates. Instead, we propose an automatic pattern construction approach to extract verb synonyms and antonyms from English newspapers.
