What is "troponymy"?
Troponymy is the relationship between words where one word describes a specific manner or way of performing an action represented by another word. For example, in the relationship between "run" and "jog," "jog" indicates a slower, more specific way of running. Troponymy helps to clarify the nuances and variations in meaning within a category of actions, allowing for more precise expression in language. This concept is important in semantics, as it enhances understanding of how different words relate to each other based on their meanings and the actions they describe.
