(antonyms) meaning.

II. Background Information for Learners

In the previous lesson, you’ve learned about word cline. These are words with
almost the same meaning but differs in its degree of intensity. This time, you will learn
more of these words having the same or almost the same meaning, also known
as synonyms. Also, you will learn about words having opposite meaning or
antonyms.

To understand more on synonyms and antonyms, take a look at these

examples.

Synonyms Antonyms
1. big – huge, large 1. big – small, little

2. happy – glad, joyful 2. happy- sad, lonely

In the first column, the word big in number 1 is similar in meaning with huge
and large. The same is true with the word happy which also means glad and joyful.
These words are synonyms or words having the same meaning.
In the second column, the words small and little are opposite in meaning to
the word big. So, are sad and lonely to happy. They are called antonyms or words
having opposite meaning.
Studying synonyms and antonyms will help you improve your vocabulary and
will help you better understand what you are reading.
