Re: [Mt-list] a Language Term

[Sergei A. Koval]

In a kind of a followup, I found a mention of

relational antonyms = converses = relational opposites

at the English Wikipedia, under the heading "Opposite (semantics)". That 
explains why I had found so few occurrences of "conversive(s)" by Google.

Best regards
Sergei Koval

  In a broader sense, yes, they are antonyms.
  But as a special kind of antonyms they can be called conversive antonyms, see 
for ex.
  http://120.118.183.1/aseip_folder/tempdir/ppt647518.ppt

  This term is not so much mentioned in the English part of the Internet, but 
it is quite customary in Russian semantics ("konversivy") where it goes back to 
works of the 1970s by Igor Mel'čuk and Yuri Apresyan.

    Dear Hung, 
    I think I would use "antonym".

      Dear All,

      I could not find the -onym word for naming the verb, acting in the 
opposite direction to another verb.
      Examples:
      - give and get
      - send and receive
      - like (English) and нравиться (Russian)

      Please tell me if you know (or create one?)

      Best Regards,
      Hung
