Explanation
A relationship between terms that are subordinate to the same superordinate term. Conceptual spaces have not only upward and downward hierarchies but also neighborhoods on the same level.
Example
Rose and tulip are co-hyponyms under “flower.”
Counterexample
Rose and flower are not on the same level but are in a subordinate relationship.
Distinction
Distinguishing from hyponymy: “rose” and “flower” are not on the same level, but in a subordination relationship.
Effect on thought and perception
Concept spaces have not only upward and downward hierarchies but also neighborhoods on the same level.
Resonance
Co-hyponymy makes a directed relationship perceptible: Concept spaces possess not only hierarchies extending upward and downward, but also neighborhoods on the same level.
