speaker has 8 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous)
“the speaker at commencement”
electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds loud enough to be heard at a distance
the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly
“the leader of the majority party is the Speaker of the House of Representatives”
