Sense and Sense Relations?. Contents:.

Page 3 (14s)

What is sense?. Sense of an expression is its place in a system of semantic relationship with other expressions in the language. It is not necessary for it to have a reference. For instance: “Unicorn” has a sense but there is no reference at all because it doesn’t exist in the real world..

Sense Relations: Synonymy: It is a relationship between two predicates that have the same sense (The similarity of the meaning). The two predicates having the same sense will be synonymous of each other..

Page 5 (58s)

Hyponymy : It is a sense relation between predicates such that the meaning of one predicate is included in the meaning of the other..

Antonymy: The oppositness of meanings. Types: Binary Antonyms: They come in pairs and between them exhaust all the relevant possibilities. If the one predicate is applicable, then the other cannot be, and vice versa. Converse Antonyms: If a predicate describes a relationship between two things and some other predicate describes the same relationship when the two things are mentioned in the opposite order, then the two predicates are converses of each other. 3. Two predicates are gradable antonyms if they are at opposite ends of a continuous scale of values ( a scale which typically varies according to the context of use.).

Opaque Context:. It is a part of a sentence which could be made into a complete sentence by the addition of a referring expression, but where the addition of different referring expressions, even though they refer to the same thing or person, in a given situation, will yield sentences with different meanings when uttered in a given situation..

Equative Sentence: A sentence which is used to assert the identity of the referents of the two refferening expressions having the same refferents..
