What is Lexical relation?

The definitions of the dictionary, lexical relations are

the relationship between the meanings of words.

The types of lexical relations

There are five types of lexical relations by Palmer (1976)


that is analyzed by the researcher such as :

● hyponym,
● synonymy,
● antonym,
● polysemy,
● and homonymy
1. Hyponymy
Hyponymy is the term to refer to a set or a
group of words that are included in a higher
term or word. The higher or upper term or
word is called a super ordinate, and the
lower term is called a hyponym.
2. Synonymy
 
Synonymy is sameness of meaning which is
not related to the conceptual meaning of
words but relations of words which have the
same conceptual meaning.
3. Antonymy

Antonymy is oppositeness of the meaning.


Antonymy also relates to word meaning, like
synonymy. It is called a sense relation.
Palmer (1982) divides three kinds of
antonymy are gradable antonymy,
complementarity, and relational opposites
4. Polysemy

Polysemy is the term that refers to a word. It


has a set of different meanings which are
related. For the example of polysemy
