Parallelism: literary examples

Task A - our comments

Meaning connection between "KISS" and "KILL"

Although one of them refers to a pleasant activity and the other to a very unpleasant one, these two words do not really have an established semantic connection in the way that some other pairs of words do. Compare:

Shut/close

- synonymy

(same meaning)

Hot/cold

- antynomy

(opposite meaning)

Dog/animal

- hyponymy

(class inclusion
  - dogs are a species of animal)

 

Chuckle Stop!
