Hyponymy
Revision as of 12:44, 23 May 2009 by Volker gast (talk | contribs)
Hyponymy is a sense relation that holds between a more specific predicate and a more general one. For example, dog is a hyponym of animal, because all dogs are also animals, but not vice versa. Hyponymy is the converse of hyperonymy.
A specific type of hyponymy is instantiated by taxonomies.
