| Abstract | ||
| The current article tries to investigate the development of English "antonymy" in the long haul literature in addition to review and trace back the theoretical as well as the practical progress of this phenomenon diachronically. The objective of this paper is to focus on the notion of antonymy and its classification from different perspectives. To achieve its aims , a comparative diagnostic approach is adopted. The study has yielded that (1) antonymy is approached dichotomously: literally vs. non-literally, lexically vs. semantically, canonically vs. non-canonically and textually vs. contextually, and (2) the classification of this phenomenon is activated by the practices and the theoretical insights of the classifiers; conventional classification is a context-free and form-based relation which holds between oppositional pairs while the more current classification relies on syntax as well as a context-dependent relation that holds between oppositional pairs. The scope of this phenomenon is currently extended to attribute the opposition "between antonyms, counterparts, contrasts, analogs, incompatibles, and the like".. Consequently, the study suggests further widespread investigation on the non-canonicity antonymy. | ||
