Troponymy is the presence of a ‘manner’ relation between two lexemes.
The notion was originally proposed by Christiane Fellbaum and George Miller.[1] Some examples they gave are “to nibble is to eat in a certain manner, and to gorge is to eat in a different manner. Similarly, to traipse or to mince is to walk in some manner”.[2]
Troponymy is one of the possible relations between verbs in the semantic network of the WordNet database.
