general term is placed on top of the hierarchy. This relation can be described as a
“kind of ” or “type of ” relation. For example:
A hummingbird is a kind of bird.
A bird is a kind of animal.
A animal is a kind of living thing.
This relation is also connected to the logical concept of entailment in the
sense that the meaning of a proposition can be included in the meaning of another,
more general one. For example:
a) My son really likes eating so many fruits like grapes, pear, watermelon
and papaya every day. Grapes, pear, watermelon
and papaya are include
hyponymy and hypernym of fruits.
b) Doctor said that “Eating vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, cucumber,
tomato and cabbage makes my body healthier. Spinach, lettuce, cucumber, tomato
and cabbage are include hyponymy and hypernym of vegetables.
c) There are many cities in Uzbekistan such as Samarqand, Kxiva, Tashkent
and Bukhara. Samarkand, Kxiva, Tashkent and Bukhara are include hyponymy and
hypernym of cities.
According to Indah Yuspita’s “Semantic
Analysis of Hyponymy on The
Happy Prince Short Story by Oscar Wilde” work, she gave Norquist’s opinion
about hyponymy like that” In linguistics and lexicography, hyponym is a term used
to designate a particular member of a broader class. For instance,
daisy and rose
are hyponyms of flower also called a subtype or a subordinate term and its
adjective is hyponymic. Words that are hyponyms of the same broader term (that
is, a hypernym) are called co-hyponyms. The semantic relationship between each
of the more specific words (such as daisy and rose) and the broader term (flower)
is called hyponymy or inclusion
76
. For example: the semantic relationship between
each of the more specific words such as “
fruit, meat, vegetable” and the broader
term is “
food” which is called hyponymy or inclusion.

According to the English linguist Amaro’s opinion is that “The relation of
hyperonymy/hyponymy is a lexicon-conceptual relation that simultaneously
contemplates
world knowledge, by its ontological character, and linguistic
knowledge, as shown in the following examples, in which the hyperonym is used
to refer a more specific entity (the hyponym) previously presented
77
.
a) He bought a German shepherd (hyponym) but the dog (hyperonym)
does not bite.
b) He crawled (hyponym)
through the forest, moving (hyperonym) like
this to avoid being seen.
c) Marine (hyponym) animals are threatened by the proximity of towns,
as aquatic (hyperonym) animals are easily affected by sewage
pollution.
In this study we can come acrros more specific information about this theme
such as data, the relation of hyperonymy / hyponymy allows organizing the lexical
items according to their type, since each hyponym has
all the properties of its
hyperonym plus some other aspect that characterizes it specifically and
distinguishes it from all its cohyponyms. In this way, the hyperonymy / hyponymy
relationship simultaneously contemplates the definition of a monotonic inheritance
mechanism – by contrast, for example, to what happens in the Generative Lexicon
model described above – that allows the description of lexical items in a very
economical way. Hyponyms inherit the conceptual properties of their hypernyms.
