Author:  T.V. Lavrentieva

Abstract
Eleven conceptual features of the opposition were established actualizing the appointment, logical entity of the oppositions, and indicating their role in the organization structure of a literary text. Highlighted are the three aspects in semantic analysis of the opposed lexemes: syntagmatic, paradigmatic and pragmatic. Words with opposite values have in each of these aspects different in nature, but internally related and mutually conditioned characteristics.

Keywords:  opposition, opposition relations, contrast, syntagmatic aspect, paradigmatic dimension, pragmatic aspect
