Of all the types of oppositional relationships that is only contrary opposites amenable to grading the severity of symptoms. Contrast opposites involve an element of mediation – correlative character acting rise to opposition. Conversivs, as well as contrastivs are related to frames «external characteristics» and «internal characteristics». Correlative features include: positive, mindfulness, naturalness, motivation, sensitivity, availability of material values, attractiveness, beauty, and others. Cases of transposition (transition) the concept «opposition» to the concept «consent» described by the isolation of the original concept – transposable, the reasons for the transition – and the result of transposition – transpositor.
