A hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym, also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym. An approach to the relationship between hyponyms and hypernyms is to view a hypernym as consisting of hyponyms. This, however, becomes more difficult with abstract words such as <i>imagine</i>, <i>understand</i> and <i>knowledge</i>. While hyponyms are typically used to refer to nouns, it can also be used on other parts of speech. Like nouns, hypernyms in verbs are words that refer to a broad category of actions. For example, verbs such as <i>stare</i>, <i>gaze</i>, <i>view</i> and <i>peer</i> can also be considered hyponyms of the verb <i>look</i>, which is their hypernym. </p><p>The meaning relation between hyponyms and hypernyms applies to lexical items of the same <a href="/wiki/Part_of_speech" title="Part of speech">word class (that is, part of speech)</a>, and holds between <a href="/wiki/Word_sense" title="Word sense">senses</a> rather than words. For instance, the word <i>screwdriver</i> used in the previous example refers to the <a href="/wiki/Screwdriver" title="Screwdriver">screwdriver tool</a>, and not to the <a href="/wiki/Screwdriver_(cocktail)" title="Screwdriver (cocktail)">screwdriver drink</a>. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Transitivity_of_hyponymy"></span> Hypernymy and hyponymy are <a href="/wiki/Converse_relation" title="Converse relation">converse relations</a>.

A word can be both a hypernym and a hyponym: for example <i>purple</i> is a hyponym of color but itself is a hypernym of the broad spectrum of shades of purple between the range of <i>crimson</i> and <i>violet</i>. </p><p>The hierarchical structure of semantic fields can be seen in hyponymy.<sup id="cite_ref-Gao_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gao-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They could be observed from top to bottom, where the higher level is more general and the lower level is more specific.<sup id="cite_ref-Gao_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gao-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, <i>living things</i> will be the highest level followed by <i>plants</i> and <i>animals</i>, and the lowest level may comprise <i>dog</i>, <i>cat</i> and <i>wolf</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Gao_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gao-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Under the relations of hyponymy and incompatibility, taxonomic hierarchical structures too can be formed.

The second relation is said to be more discriminating and can be classified more specifically under the concept of taxonomy.<sup id="cite_ref-The_Semantics_of_Relationships:_An_Interdisciplinary_Perspective_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_Semantics_of_Relationships:_An_Interdisciplinary_Perspective-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Co-hyponyms">Co-hyponyms</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hypernymy_and_hyponymy&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Co-hyponyms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>If the hypernym Z consists of hyponyms X and Y, then X and Y are identified as co-hyponyms (cohyponyms), also known as coordinate terms.
