Summary/Abstract: The lexical system involves a lot of units between which there is a set of relationships. They can be identified on several levels: on the line of the plane of expression, on the line of the plane of the content of the lexical units or at the same time on both planes. Based on these relationships, we can distinguish certain lexico-semantic categories, including polysemy, synonymy and antonymy. In this study we will make a brief presentation of them, because they are among the most well-known, but also controversial semantic relations.
