Résumé

Antonymy constitutes one of the fundamental lexical-semantic relations in natural languages, enabling speakers to express contrast, opposition, and binary or scalar distinctions. Within contemporary linguistic research, antonym pairs are frequently distinguished according to the degree of their conventionalization and cognitive entrenchment. Canonical antonym pairs represent highly conventionalized, prototypical oppositions that speakers readily retrieve and that co-occur frequently in discourse. Non-canonical antonym pairs, by contrast, are less entrenched, more context-dependent, and often arise through semantic incompatibility rather than strong lexical association.
