ABSTRACT
Practical 5 Tutor notes Students generally do not have problems understanding the notion of synonymy. Hyperonymy and hyponymy may prove a little more difficult, and partially overlapping translation more difficult still. In this latter case, students need to be aware that partial overlap does not simply involve the use of any denotatively related meaning in the IT. In order to demonstrate partial overlap one needs to be able to show: (i) what is retained of the core meaning; (ii) what aspect of meaning is added; (iii) what aspect of meaning is lost.
