In linguistics, troponymy is the presence of a 'manner' relation between two lexemes.
The concept was originally proposed by Christiane Fellbaum and George Miller. 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".
