2000 July, Bernard J. McKenna, Philip Graham, “Technocratic Discourse: A Primer”, in Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, volume 30, number 3, →DOI, page 242:The co-meronymous elements that compose the driving factors are technology, the related mobility of people, goods and ideas, and a liberal trading environment. Each of these co-meronymous nominals is devoid of human agency.
2005, Philip Windridge, Bernadette Sharp, Geoff Thompson, “Symbolic Knowledge Representation in Transcript Based Taxonomies”, in Chin-Sheng Chen, Joaquim Filipe, Isabel Seruca, José Cordeiro, editors, ICEIS 2005: Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, volume 2, SciTePress, →DOI, →ISBN, page 268:The meronymy relation can be understood as the part-of relation. For example, in Figure 1b ‘set of activities’, ‘deliverables’ and ‘milestones’ have been analysed as being part-of ‘project management’ and therefore in a co-meronymous relation to each other.
2013, Aleš Klégr, “The limits of polysemy: enantiosemy”, in Linguistica Pragensia, volume 23, number 2, Prague: Charles University, Faculty of Arts, page 21:[…] the question arises whether the other form of the exclusion relationship, comeronymy, could not be found among polysemes as well. There is no mention of this possibility in the literature but, as there is no logical obstacle to comeronymous polysemes, this hypothesis could be worth exploring.
