【正确答案】正确答案:Meronymy refers to the phenomenon that a word means a part of another, such as neck/body, drawer/ desk.(3 points)Hyponymy is a matter of class membership which indicates a category to which the words all belong. The upper term in this sense relation, i. e. the class name, is called superordinate, and the lower terms, the members, hyponyms. A superordinate usually has several hyponyms, and these members of the same class are co-hyponyms.(3 points) Meronymy can be expressed by the pattern "X is a part of Y" , whereas hyponymy is by the pattern "X is a kind of Y". For example, head is a part of body, but not a kind of body, while potato is a kind of vegetable, but not a part of vegetable.(4 points)
【答案解析】解析:考查部分一整体关系及上下义关系。部分一整体关系(meronymy)属于包含关系,各个部分恰当组合才能构成整体,若将它们分离开,则各自只具有自身功能,丧失构成整体的那部分作用,整体也不可称其为整体。该关系可用公式X is a part of Y表示。上下义关系也是包含关系,但是是一种类和成员之间的关系,可用公式X is a kind of Y来表示,其中Y为X的上坐标词,X为Y的下义词。
