In linguistics, converses or relational antonyms are pairs of words that refer to a relationship from opposite points of view, such as ''parent/child'' or ''borrow/lend''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=converse )〕 The relationship between such words is called a converse relation.〔 Converses can be understood as a pair of words where one word implies a relationship between two objects, while the other implies the existence of the same relationship when the objects are reversed. Converses are sometimes referred to as complementary antonyms because an "either/or" relationship is present between them. One exists only because the other exists. ==List of converse words== * ''Own'' and ''belong'' are relational opposites i.e. "A owns B" is the same as "B belongs to A." * ''Win'' and ''lose'' i.e. if someone wins, someone must lose. * ''Fraction'' and ''whole'' i.e. if there is a fraction, there must be a whole. * ''Above'' and ''below'' * ''Employer'' and ''employee'' * ''Parent'' and ''child'' * ''Teacher'' and ''student'' * ''Buy'' and ''sell'' * ''East'' and ''west'' * ''Husband'' and ''wife'' * ''Predator'' and ''prey'' * ''Lend'' and ''borrow'' * ''Offense'' and ''defense'' * ''Slave'' and ''master'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Converse (semantics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
