HUMOROUS ASPECTS OF PROTOTYPE THEORY: 11 Ways that Words Can Relate to Each Other:

1. Family Resemblance: e.g. Soccer is a “game” but so is “dice”

2. Better Example e.g. “robin” vs. “penguin” (birds)

3. Gestalt Recognition: e.g. “cricket bat” and “cricket umpire”

4. Generativity: e.g. “self” vs. “mother” and “uncle”

5. Membership Gradience: e.g. “rich” (i.e. there are “degrees of membership”

6. Centrality Gradience: e.g. “mother of the year” vs. “working mother”

7. Conceptual Embodiment: e.g. “red” “yellow” and “blue” vs. “purple”

8. Functional Embodiment: e.g. “cat-pet” vs. “flower-smell” or “ball-bounce”

9. Basic Level Categorization: e.g. “apple” vs “Johnathan Apple”

10. Basic Level Primacy: e.g. “brown” and “green” (natural colors vs. other colors)

11. Metonymic Reasoning: e.g. “seven head of cattle” implies seven cattle
