Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate antonymy in English literature. The importance of the study is first discussed, followed by an explanation of antonymy and its classification with instances. The paper's main focus is on the usage of antonymy in distinct English texts from a linguistic standpoint, with several examples of antonyms used to illustrate and prove that understanding and investigating antonymy can aid in the comprehension of various texts and the development of literary flavor.
