Antonyms may be divided into:1) root antonyms : good – bad, beautiful – ugly, old – young.
2) derivational antonyms. These antonyms are formed by affixes. Ex. Kind- unkind, to like – dislike. Antonyms are not always interchangeable in certain contexts. Ex. “rich voice” . The opposite of a short is tall person. A short thing – long thing, an old book - a new book, an old man - ayoung man.
