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
