“According to the approach to word meaning adopted here, both the core of a category and the relation of taxonymy should in principle be construals, subject to contextual constraints.”

“The proposal in connection with taxonymy is that a taxonym must (a) further specify a highlighted feature of the hypernym and (b) must similarly highlight it.”
