Abstract

This thesis reports on two psycholinguistic experiments that explore the question of how synonyms and antonyms are linked in the Mental Lexicon. The experirnental results confirm theoretical expectations that synonymic and antonymic links are fundamental cognitive relations among lexical items.
The results also suggest that the nature of these relations may not be identical because it was found that synonymic and antonymic pairs behaved differently in the two experirnental paradigms and that they also showed differences in the way they interacted when suffixation was added as a factor. The relevance of these findings to methodological issues in psycholinguistic experimentation is discussed and the implications for further research are outlined.

Content
In this chapter a description of the semantic relations of synonymy and antonymy was provided. The sub-types of the relations were outlined and examples of each were given. The section on synonymy and antonymy was concluded by introducing some of the studies in the literature that have focused on these relations.
In general, there is a lack of processing studies that directly compare the on-he processing of synonyms and antonyrns. Possible effects of suffixation on synonymic and antonymic pairs were discussed and the need for an investigation of semantic relations controling for suffixation was expressed.
In addition, the criteria used to establish suffixation as a control factor for these experiments is discussed, and the off-line rating pretest used to finalize target stimulus pairs is also described.

REVIEW: SEMANTIC FIELDS



REVIEW: SEMANTIC FIELD,SEMANTIC RELATION AND SEMANTIC COMPONENT

    “Semantic field,Semantic relation and Semantic component” is a journal that is uploaded by Benedict Ukpabi at academia.edu . There is 17 pages in this journal that talks about semantics fields ,semantic relation and semantic component.

 This journal tells us the semantic fields and their definition and there are example also. It help us to know more about fields that is in semantics.Not only that, we can know advantages and disadvantages of field relations and components .

 The strengthness of this journal are:
 There is definition and words that is used in this journal is quite easy to understand . So, readers from overseas may understand it. It gives us examples for each sub topics. So , we can understand more.

Beside that , there is also some weakness in this journal ,they are :
There is the semantic fields incomplete.

Every journal usually have the strenghness and the weakness on it. So that, we need to read other reference to gain our knowledge.

Birth Control in Riau

                 Riau has a population of 5 million, according to the results of Population Census in 2010 Most people agree especially  in Riau that some form of  family limitation is desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and groups–especially religious groups–differ on the methods of birth control.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each child as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptance. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.

In conclusion, birth control is a choice among parents whether they want to limit their children,  or to have no children at all. There must be some reasons behind their choice to control the birth economy, social, or may be health. I do agree that having children is the purpose of marriage. However, to prevent population explosion, we need to take an action and birth control is the best answer.
