However, some units represent a "type" diagnostic for hyponymy, but cannot
be a suitable example of a syllogism.
Laptop is a type of computer.
A computer is a type of office equipment.
Laptop is a type of office equipment.
There are two sentences in the given examples contain arguments that is not
proper into a syllogism. The word "laptop" in the first sentence is a correct
sentence that describes a typical computer. In the second sentence, different
functions and criteria of "laptop" can be understood. Another issue of examples 1
and 2 can also be observed, that is, the types of interaction in them cannot be
equivalent to each other. The first sentence represents
a taxonomic hyponymy or
taxonomy sentence which means that what the laptop is, while the second sentence
shows what the computer is used for and its function. All terms can have two
different types of hyperonyms. For example, the word
giraffe has two hyperonyms,
the taxonomic
meaning animal or living thing and the functional hyponymy
meaning
wild animal. Or another example such as
water has two hyperonyms, the
taxonomic meaning
liquid and functional hyponymy meaning
drinking liquid.
Reciprocity in syllogism is observed only in taxonomic hyponym.
The analysis of
f hyponymy showed that certain subtypes (e.g. agent-based,
patient-based, result-based, method-based, degree-based) closely correlated with
process-related semantic categories (e.g. activity, phenomenon, process, change of
state).
On the other hand, other hyponymy subtypes (e.g. composition-based,
technology-based, function-based) were directly linked to entity-related semantic
categories (e.g. substance, landform, construction, instrument). Furthermore, the
results also demonstrated that a distinction can
be made between relational
hyponymy subtypes (i.e. those involving another concept, like agent-based,
resultbased or location-based) and attributional hyponymy subtypes (i.e. those
69
involving the intrinsic characteristics of the concept, like shape-based, texturebased
or moisture-based). Relational hyponymy subtypes were generally associated with
processes, whilst attributional hyponymy subtypes were mainly related to entities.
In addition, further distinctions were made not only depending on whether
concepts
were entities or processes, but also between natural and artificial
concepts. In this line, some hyponymy subtypes were shown to be mostly
exclusive to natural concepts (e.g. origin-based, state-based, time-based), whereas
other hyponymy subtypes were generally attributed to artificial concepts (e.g.
function-based, technology-based, weight-based).

Let’s we will consider some
examples according to hyponymic categories.
1.
Type of hyponymy (transport):
a)
The
ship Titanic was due to leave at half past eleven.
b)
When they got out of
the cart.
A “
ship” is defined as a small vessel for travel on water.
Vessel is here
synonymous to transport. While, “
car”t is synonymous open wheeled transport,
which is without a doubt it a kind of a transportation. Hence, these two words are
classified as transportation hyponymy.
2.
Type of hyponymy (transport): “
velosiped, traktor, samolyot,
mashina, mototsikl, yuk mashina, poyezd, metro”like words in
Uzbek language.
a) Farmon bibining ikki nabirasiga
uch oyoqli velosiped
sovg’a qildi.
3.
Type of hyponymy (occupation)
b)
And an old seamen in a jersey command his mariners.
c)
Such a very nice stewardess and pilot came to meet
the passengers in a plan before flying.
A
“sailor and mariners” are a traveler by water while, a stewardess is a
woman who performs the duties of a steward, especially one who attends
