Also called antonyms or opposite words. A pair of words that have the opposite meaning. Examples are "go-come," "long-short," and "bad-good," but also include words that are not necessarily opposites, such as "cry-laugh." Therefore, some words may have multiple antonyms, and some may not have any antonyms at all. Also, the negation of a word is not necessarily the antonym of that word. Also, when it comes to opposite meanings, various cases are included semantically.

対義語,反対語ともいう。互いに反対の意味をもつ一対の語。「行く-来る」「長い-短い」,"bad-good"などがその例であるが,「泣く-笑う」などのように,必ずしも正反対ではないものも含まれる。したがって語によっては反義語がいくつもある場合もあり,反義語のない場合もある。また,ある語の否定が必ずしもその語の反意語となるとはかぎらない。また,反対の意味といっても,意味論的に種々の場合が含まれる。
