ABSTRACT

It has been indisputably that hyperonyms, including the meaning of hyponyms, have wider meaningful scope than them, and it is likely to be in agreement in the future. This phenomenon is, however, the result that catches the meaning from an ideological position, and different viewpoints make different interpretations possible. In other words, from a practical angle, the aspects - completely different from the existing viewpoints - are also exposed. Meanwhile, hyperonyms have more potential semantic feature than hyponyms, but the latter has more specific semantic feature than the former proportionately. Well, there is a difference in the meaningful scope of hyperonyms and hyponyms according to an emphasis on any semantic feature. The former is an approach that focuses on amount of kind from an ideological angle, while the latter is an approach from a practical viewpoint that can directly confirm from reality. The amount of hyponyms, which hyperonyms are holding, and the amount of semantic information, which hyponyms are possessing, are in inverse proportion to each other, which an aspect of the meaningful scope is differently showed, depending on the consideration of which side’s amount. This study was also interested in the relation between denotation and connotation, and hyperonyms and hyponyms based on these contents. And it tried to examine as of whether the interpretation in contradiction to the existing position, which hyperonyms have wider denotation and narrower connotation in reference to the relation between denotation and connotation based on this while hyponyms become the opposition, is possible or not.
