Comment on the following sentences using the theory of hyponymy.
(a) I met a writer who is the relation of a politician.
(b) Imet a newspaper reporter who is the brother of Senator Buckley.
【正确答案】：Hyponymy refers to the semantic relationship ofinclusion，in which the meaning of more specific word is included in that of another more general word.
It is not too difficult to judge that sentence[b] is better than sentence[a]， because in[b]the writer uses subordinates, which are concrete and precise, presenting a vivid verbal picture before the reader whereas in[a]the words used are super ordinates, which convey only a general and vague idea
(Hyponymy是指包含的语义关系，其中更具体的词的意义包含在另一个更一般的词的意义中。判断句子[b]比句子[a]更好并不太难，因为在[b]中，作者使用了具体而精确的从属词，在读者面前呈现了一幅生动的口头画面，而在[a]中，使用的词是超坐标，只传达了一个笼统而模糊的概念。)
