Analyze and comment on the following sentences based on the concept that antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. [A] How tall is his sister? [B] How short is his sister?
选项
答案
Pairs of antonyms are seen as marked and unmarked terms respectively. In many pairs, we find that one member is more specific than the other and the meaning of the specific is included in that of the general. So far as the meaning is concerned, sentence A includes the meaning of B. The use of "tall" does not exclude the possibility of "his sister being very short". But sentence B is much more restricted in sense and is considered semantically abnormal unless the speaker is particularly interested in how short his sister is.
