LA SEMÁNTICA LÉXICA Y LA OPOSICIÓN DE SENTIDO: UN ENFOQUE TEÓRICO
Lexical semantics and sense opposition from a theoretical perspective

Summary/Abstract: Lexical semantics is a branch of semantics which deals with word meaning and relations between words, leaving aside the grammatical perspective. Sense opposition is, according to authors, the most readily apprehended semantic relation for common speakers. Opposition can be divided into three categories: complementarity (or binary antonymy, a relationship of contradiction, in which the denial of one term is the assertion of its complementary and there is no third term in between), gradable antonymy (concepts which may be compared and present the property of scalarity) and converseness (or reversibility).
