The semantic relation that holds between two lexemes that can (in a
given context) express OPPOSITE MEANINGS

* The assertion of one (member of a pair) entails the negation of the other (member).

* The negation of one does not entail the assertion of the other. There is always some
middle ground.

The assertion of one (member of a group) entails the negation of all the other
(members of the group).

The negation of one member does not entail the assertion of any other particular
member of the group. There are always other members, some middle ground.

Not only does the assertion of one (member of a pair) entail the negation of the other,
but the negation of one also entails the assertion of the other.

There is no middle ground between the two members
of a pair.

A logical relation such that two propositions are contraries if both
cannot be true but both can be false.
