Analyze and comment on the following.Comment on the following piece of discourse in terms of superordinates and subordinated, so far as hyponymy is concerned. “There was a fine rocking-chair that his father used to sit in, a desk where he wrote letters, a nest of small tables and a dark, imposing bookcase. Now all the furniture was to be sold, and with it his own past.”

IN THIS PIECE OF DISCOURSE GIVEN, “ROCKING-CHAIR, DESK, TABLE, BOOKCASE” ARE HYPONYMS UNDER FURNITURE. THE GENERAL WORD “FURNITURE” IS A SUPERORDINATE AND “ROCKING-CHAIRS, DESK, TABLE, BOOKCASE” ARE SUBORDINATE.
