The 3 volume dictionary presents words in German that have opposed meanings as part of their individual polysemy. Such an opposite meaning is, for an individual word, analogous to the common antonymy that exists between different words. The concept of opposite meaning is relatively unknown and, in contrast to synonym and antonym dictionaries, there exists no dictionary of opposite meanings for any language. In this sense, the current work is an innovation and will be of great linguistic interest.
Key Features:
- Dictionary of the words in the German language that can be used with opposite meaning
- Detailed description and classification of polysemy and corpus of extensive examples
- Important work for any specialist in the fields of semantics, linguistic logic and language philosophy
