Summary

* Explores the factors that determine the antonymic strength of the pair of opposites;

* Questions whether there is a clear distinction between 'good' and 'bad' opposites, and examines whether the internal structure of the category of antonymy should instead be described in terms of prototype theory;

* Interprets the relation between antonymy and cognitive concepts, as well as the words which encode these concepts. Taking a multi-method and cross-linguistic approach, this research is ideal for students and researchers of lexical and cognitive semantics and those with an interest in theoretical linguistics.
