		Although meronymy is a hierarchical relation it should not be modeled as a mathematical lattice.
		One obvious reason against a modeling of meronymy as a concept lattice using denotata as formal objects and attributes and meronymy as the relation between them is that, for example, the formal attributes `ketchup' and `pizza' both share the formal objects `sugar' and `salt' as parts.
		Definition 7.4: In a denotative structure SD the semantic relation meronymy is defined as follows: Two disambiguated words are in meronymy relation if their denotative word concepts are in relation Rm(Q4;Q2) where m is a meronymy relation among denotata, i.e.

		Meronymy relates the lexeme for a part to that for a whole.
		The nature of meronymy's transitivity has been been the subject of debate, and is of some importance.
		Extraction of other relations, such as meronymy, has been less studied, and where it has been studied, several shortcomings are apparent.

	Nouns in GermaNet
		Meronymy is the other prominent relation for nouns.
		GermaNet does not maintain WordNet's subclassification of meronymy into 'is a component of', 'is member of', and 'is stuff that x is made of".
		The only type of meronymy recognized in GermaNet is the "is a component of" relation, which is also the default value of WordNet's meronymy relation.

	Book Review October 1998
		Meronymy (has part) / holonymy (is part of) always are subject to confusion, not completely avoided in this chapter, which stems from ignoring the fact that airplane has-part wing really means "an individual object 1 which belongs to the class airplane has-part individual object 2 which belongs to the class wing".
		Thus, the strength of a relationship established indirectly between two concepts due to a has-part relationship to the same concept may vary widely.
		The paper does reveal a proper analysis of meronymy, once one penetrates the formalism and the notation.

		Cruse (1986, 158) provides an amusing description of the difference between "piece" and "part": "The contrast between parts and pieces is potentially operative even with highly integrated wholes such as animal bodies: there is a clear difference between such a body hacked to pieces, and one carefully dissected into its parts".
		The ultimate conclusion to be drawn from this discussion is that meronymy is a complex relation.
		Miller sees function as a characteristic of a concept and describes it as follows: "A functional feature of a nominal concept is intended to be a description of something that instances of the concept normally do, or that is normally done with or to them" (1990, 257).

		Meronymy or HAS_A relation links synsets denoting wholes with that denoting their parts.
		Unlike the hyponymy, transitivity of meronymy is quite limited: e.g., ручка - часть двери, дверь - часть дома are normal, but it is quite odd to say ручка - часть дома.
		Meronymy is an asymmetric relation, it may not be always reversible to holonymy: e.g., whereas a forest is not a forest unless it consists of trees, a tree does not necessarily grow in a forest (it may be a street or a desert) [Cruse 1986].

		Cruse (1986, 175) states that "Entities such as groups, classes and collections stand in relations which resemble meronymy with their constituent elements." Winston et al (1987, 423), however, have this to say: "Collections must be distinguished from classes.
		Conclusion: the pattern divid* into is used in real language to express both hyponymy and meronymy.
		This is valuable information for the terminologist, who is not about to discard it simply because it was harvested during a search for meronymy.

		This is demonstrated using the quantificational tags of the meronymy relation.
		Furthermore, although meronymy relations with different relational components can share the same tags, each class of relational components tends to prefer a special tag.
		The resulting classes differ from the four meronymy models of Iris et al., which distinguish membership, segmented whole, subset, and functional components.

		The construal processes are subject to a wide range of constraints, of varying strengths and types, deriving, in the main, from convention, context and the nature of the human cognitive system.
		This approach, which is a variety of 'usage-based' approach, entails a re-examination of a number of topics in traditional lexical semantics; this course will concentrate mainly on conceptual categories, polysemy, and sense relations such as hyponymy, meronymy and antonymy.

		The entailment relation between verbs resembles meronymy between nouns, but meronymy is better suited to nouns than to verbs.
		The lexical relations synonymy, hyponymy, compatibility, incompatibility and meronymy are widely talk about in the context of thesaurus and dictionary and it can be taken for granted that the lexicographers are aware of the problems involved in deciding the items that can be grouped by these relations.
		Meronymy can be further specified as a part of something or a substance of something or a member of some group.

		There is no simple correspondence between meronymy and entailment.
		It has been shown that there is a narrow connection between semantic relations represented in WordNet (synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, meronymy) and entailment.

		Meronymy (from the Greek (Greek: A native or inhabitant of Greece) words meros = part and onoma = name) is a semantic relation (semantic relation: A relation between meanings).

		Three types of distinguishing features are discussed: attributes (modification), parts (meronymy), and functions (predication), but only meronymy is presently implemented in the noun files.
		Meronymy is obviously a complex semantic relation - or set of relations.
		Only three of these types of meronymy are coded in WordNet:

		A lexical relation with a tree structure is a pattern of association that is characterized by a set of lexical units which both have an inclusion relationship with and are dominated by one lexical unit.
