Analyze and comment on the following.Comment on the following groups of words in terms of types of antonyms: contradictory terms, contrary terms, relative terms. “true - false”, “big - small’’, “husband - wife”
ANTONYMS CAN BE DEFINED AS WORDS WHICH ARE OPPOSITE IN MEANING. THEY CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE MAJOR GROUPS. 
（1）CONTRADICTORY TERMS: THEY ARE SO OPPOSED TO EACH OTHER THAT THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE AND ADMIT NO POSSIBILITY BETWEEN THEM，SUCH AS “TRUE – FALSE”
（2）CONTRARY TERMS: ANTONYMS OF THIS TYPE ARE BEST VIEWED IN TERMS OF A SCALE RUNNING BETWEEN TWO POLES OR EXTREMES. ANTONYMS SUCH AS “BIG – SMALL” REPRESENT TWO POINTS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE POLE AND CAN ACCOMMODATE A MIDDLE GROUND BELONGING NEITHER TO ONE POLE NOR TO THE OTHER. WE CAN HAVE MEDIUM-SIZED BETWEEN THE BIG AND THE SMALL. 
（3） RELATIVE TERMS: THIS TYPE CONSISTS OF RELATIONAL OPPOSITES SUCH AS “HUSBAND – WIFE”. SUCH PAIRS OF WORDS INDICATE SUCH A RECIPROCAL SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP THAT ONE OF THEM CANNOT BE USED WITHOUT SUGGESTING THE OTHER. IF A IS THE HUSBAND OF B, THEN B IS THE WIFE, WHO MARRIES A.
