Question

Give two examples of Super Ordinate Term.

Answer 1

Superordinate terms (often also called 'hypernyms,' 'anaphoric nouns,' or 'discourse-organizing words') are nouns that can be used to stand for an entire 'class' or 'category' of things. Thus, a superordinate term acts as an 'umbrella' term that includes within it the meaning of other words. For example, 'vehicle' is the superordinate concept for 'lorry', 'automobile', 'bicycle', and 'tram'.
