CONVERSE AND ANTONYMIC RELATION IN TRANSLATION
Keywords:
Antonyms, converses, antonymic translation, converse translation, pragmatic role of lexical conversesAbstract
Scientists who work on semantics have already proven that antonyms and converses are two distinct types of sense relations. However, even recent studies make little distinction between the two, with the term antonym being used for both (e.g. Jones 2002). The goal of the article is to show that the two categories are different in several aspects and that their differences are reflected in translation. Analysis of the corpus of several English sentences and their translations has revealed that antonymic translation is much more frequent compared to converse translation because of the pragmatic role of the units comprising a converse pair.
