O. L. Lytvyn Central zone of the field of antonyms in the English language
Abstract. In this article an attempt is made to define the central zone of the field of antonyms in the English language by comparing and contrasting the data obtained by the process of analyzing illustrative material used in linguistic works written in English, and information about the frequency of these units in language obtained from a frequency dictionary – «A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English». The results of the semantic and functional analysis, as well as quantitative calculations enabled us to arrive at the conclusion that the central zone of the field of antonyms in the English language is formed mainly by morphologically unrelated (absolute) adjectives and verbs which illustrate gradable and complementary antonymy, namely about 60 pairs of antonyms.
