stand in 和 relation to在这里是什么成分?
Hypernymy,the relation words stand in when their extensions stand in the relation of class to subclass,should not be confused with holonymy which is the relation words stand in when the things that they denote stand in the relation of whole to part.
这句话如何理解,stand in 是作谓语吗,如何理解呢,还有the relation of class to subclass 中的to合适吗,不是都用and 十分感谢您的关注.

答案

是谓语.合适.relation既可以和with、and、between搭配,也可以和to搭配.relation of a to b:a对于b的关系.relation of a and b:a和b的关系.between:a和b之间的关系.with彼此的关系.其实意思差不多
上位关系是指两个词语外延之间的关系是类别和分类别之间的关系,不要和整体－部份关系弄混,后者是指词语所表达的事物之间的关系是全部和部分的关系.
