Keywords: semantic relation; meronymy; holonymy
Summary/Abstract: The relation of meronymy is a hierarchical semantic relation, which enables the systematic description of the lexical structures of Romanian as well as of other languages. In competition with the hyper-hyponymy relation, it describes the material relationship of part-whole, being applied only to countable concrete nouns. It occurs in syntactic structures of the type X is part of Z and, from the discoursive point of view, it is included in the dictionary definitions.
