Four sense relations compared

No more sense relations are going to be introduced, so this is an appropriate point to take stock. Table 2.1 compares the sense relations dealt with so far in terms of a number of features that have been mentioned. (three more sense relations are going to be brought in.)

In (2.12) the defining patterns of entailment for these four sense relations are recapitulated to make it easier to relate them to the entries in the table, with relevant example numbers given for the illustrative sentences used earlier.
