Antonymy is explored as a fascinating linguistic concept, highlighting its role in human categorization of language. The paper discusses how words are classified based on shared characteristics, with antonyms representing a distinct form of categorization that relies on strong differentiations from other words. It emphasizes that antonyms cannot exist independently; they inherently depend on their counterpart to convey meaning. This examination reflects broader themes in semantics and the complexities of language structure, as studied in the context of English linguistics.
