Academic literature on the topic 'Homonymy'

This study is undertaken to identify the similarities and differences of classification of homonyms in medical terminology of English, Russian and Tatar languages. In this paper a comparative method was used to identify the common and special in the compared languages. The basis of comparison in the medical terminology of genetically unrelated languages was established. In this study, the method of feature comparison was used, i.e. the phenomenon of homonymy was studied in a comparative aspect. The results of this study contribute to ordering the terms, the selection of the correct, appropriate term when translating medical texts from one language into another. The languages under the consideration have intra-terminological, inter-terminological, inter-system homonymy. Besides, there are homonymic relations between eponyms in all languages. In the medical terminology of the English language, the following groups of homonyms are found: absolute, incomplete, partial (homophones, homographs) homonyms. Incomplete homonyms are divided into lexical and lexical and grammatical, and partial homonyms are divided into lexical, lexical and grammatical, grammatical (homonyms-converse terms). Homophones, in turn, are classified into homophones and near homophones. Homonyms are classified into homonyms of a high degree of homonymity, homonyms of a medium degree of homonymity, homonyms of a low degree of homonymity in Russian medical terminology. In medical terminology of the Tatar language absolute and incomplete homonyms are distinguished. Incomplete homonyms include homoforms that belong to different parts of speech and homographs. Homographs are rare phenomenon in the medical terminology of the Tatar language. Separately, as a special group, homonyms-converse terms are considered. There are three types of functional shift relations in the Tatar language: syntactic, lexical and semantic, the most common of which is syntactic relation. The phenomenon of homonymy affects the Greek-Latin terminological elements, which are international. Comparative analysis of three languages in the matter of homonyms in medical terminology has shown that English and Tatar languages have more similarities than English and Russian ones and Russian and Tatar ones. The English medical terminology is more replete with homonymous acronyms than Russian and Tatar ones.

The study of homonymy is vital to resolving fundamental problems in lexical semantics. In this paper, we propose four hypotheses that characterize the unique behavior of homonyms in the context of translations, discourses, collocations, and sense clusters. We present a new annotated homonym resource that allows us to test our hypotheses on existing WSD resources. The results of the experiments provide strong empirical evidence for the hypotheses. This study represents a step towards a computational method for distinguishing between homonymy and polysemy, and constructing a definitive inventory of coarse-grained senses.

As in most species-rich groups, cases of homonymy are not uncommon among Scydmaeninae. Many primary and secondary junior homonyms were recently replaced by O’Keefe (2000), Davies (2004), Davies & Vít (2004), Castellini (2010), Jałoszyński (2011), Asenjo (2016), and Newton (2017). One new primary homonym has been published since then, and changes in generic placement (Jałoszyński 2013, 2020a) have generated several new secondary homonyms. New names for those are proposed below.

During the preparation of a catalogue of Oriental Scydmaeninae several cases of homonymy were discovered, including a junior homonym preoccupied by two names established in a single previous article, all by the same author. Original descriptions clearly present different species, and therefore cases of duplicate descriptions can be excluded. Herein, replacement names for the homonyms are proposed.

The article discusses questions regarding non-derivative and derivative homonyms by the example of verbs of the Russian and Uzbek languages. In sight are the problems of distinguishing polysemy and homonymy, the criteria for determining their boundaries. The basis of the study is the study of the internal structure of the word. The classification of non-derivative and derivative verbs-homonyms of the Russian and Uzbek languages is presented taking into account the ways of their formation, derivative and non-derivative lexemes depending on the place in the word-building nest. Examples of word-formation types, in particular, affix word-formation methods inherent in the formation of verbal homonyms in the comparable Russian and Uzbek languages are given. The article also deals with the features and distinctive properties of lexical, derivational homonyms, examples of reflected homonymy in the system of derivational nests are given. Word-building nests are considered as the main criterion for determining the production and non-production of verbal homonyms of the Russian and Uzbek languages. The classification of non-derivative and derivative homonyms of the Russian and Uzbek languages is developed. Examples of compiling word-formation nests of verbs in the Uzbek language are given, taking into account the possibility of the formation of the largest number of derivatives in the structure of nests. Consequently, fragments are shown regarding the organization of reflected homonymy in both Russian and Uzbek languages. The analysis results indicate that the phenomenon of homonymy in the Russian and Uzbek languages has regular and systemic character. The regularity of relationships and interactions of lexical paradigms of comparable languages in the formation of derivatives, in particular, reflected homonyms, is argued. An important place in this is given to homonymy, arising due to the homonymy of foundations and affixes.

This study aims to analyze homonymy found in colleen hoover's novel it ends with us. the method that used in this study is qualitative research, which is the writer investigate phenomena in the natural contexts, attempting to make sense of or interpret phenomena in terms of the meanings that people assign to them. the data was taken from the source of data, which is from colleen hoover's novel, it ends with us. the result of this study is the writers found that there are 3 types homonyms, which is consist of 2 pairs of absolute homonym, 2 pairs of homograph, and 3 pairs of homophone in colleen hoover's novel it ends with us, and the dominant types of homonymy in colleen hoover's novel "it ends with us" is homograph.

Məqalə ingilis dilində omonimlərin struktur-semantik xüsusiyyətlərinin öyrənilməsindən bəhs edir. Bu məqalədə omonimlik anlayışı verilir və omonimlərin təsnifatı, omonimlərin yaranmasının əsas səbəbləri, ingilis dilində omonimiyin xüsusiyyətləri nəzərdən keçirilir. Təhlil əsasında belə qənaət əldə edilir ki, omonimiya hadisəsi ingilis dilində kifayət qədər tez-tez rast gəlinən və çətin bir hadisədir və omonimlər də istənilən dili zənginləşdirə və bəzəyə bilir, belə tələffüz əsasında sözlərdən çoxlu sayda söz birləşmələri yaratmağa imkan verir.

This article gives the concept of homonymy and considers the classification of homonyms, the main reasons for the appearance of homonyms, the features of homonymy in the English language . Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the phenomenon of homonymy is a fairly frequent and difficult phenomenon in the English language, and homonyms are also able to enrich and decorate any language, allow you to create a large number of puns based on such pronunciation of words.

The subject of this article is the interpretation of the concepts “homonym”, “synonym” and “paronym” in the logic and grammatical theory of the Late Ancient / early Byzantine period (3rd–6th c.). Within the framework of the logical tradition, the theory of homonymy, synonymy and paronymy is developed, first of all, in the commentaries to Aristotle’s “Categories” written by Porphyry, Ammonius, Simplicius, etc., within the framework of grammatical theory – in the “Art of Grammar” by Dionysius of Thrace and its Byzantine scholia to it. Analysis of these texts shows that both disciplines paid great attention to these concepts: they were embedded in a broader terminological context; their definitions were refined and detailed; various methods of classification of homonyms and paronyms were developed. Many issues have been the subject of controversy and disagreement, for example, the problem of the relationship between metaphor, analogy and homonymy, or the methods of classification of homonyms. Significant disagreements persisted between the two disciplines: from the point of view of grammar and logic, all three concepts were interpreted differently, but the interpretation of synonymy differed most clearly. Contemporaries were aware of these contradictions between logic and grammar, noted and analyzed them.

The author of this paper explains the interpretation of types of homonyms (homophones and homographs), based on the epic Stephen the Little by the Serbian poet Petar II Petrovic Njegos, dating from the epoch of Romanticism. The analysis includes grammatical homonyms, where homonymy is established by individual word forms created through the motion of nouns and their base forms, and paradigmatic homonyms, where homonymy is established by a whole system of word forms created by semantic formation. The analysis also encompasses material from the epics The Mountain Wreath and The Ray of the Microcosm, and certain poems by Njegos.

Zusammenfassung. Im Anschluß an eine einführende Übersicht zu experimentalpsychologischen Untersuchungen unter Verwendung von Homonymwörtern werden die Ergebnisse einer Normierungsstudie von 68 deutschen Homonymen an einer Normalpopulation von 100 gesunden Probanden dargestellt. Berichtet werden Frequenz und Polarität der Homonyme sowie U-Werte (Index der Ambiguität). 49 Homonyme wiesen eine eindeutige semantische Präferenz für ein Bedeutungsfeld auf, 7 Homonyme waren balanciert und bei 12 Homonymen entfielen auf die inferioren Wortbedeutungen jeweils weniger als 5 % der Nennungen. Studien 2a und 2b replizieren frühere Befunde zur Resolution semantischer Ambiguität. Für diskordante Triplett-Bedingungen ließen sich bei längerem Interstimulusintervall zwischen Homonym und Zielreiz Hemmeffekte nachweisen, während eine (insignifikante) Reaktionserleichterung bei kürzerem Intervall gefunden wurden. Die Ergebnisse von Studie 2 bestätigen kontext-sensitive Modelle der Homonymverarbeitung, wonach es im Anschluß an eine initiale Aktivierung distinkter Wortbedeutungen eines Homonyms zu einer kontextgeleiteten Inhibition zusammenhangsferner Assoziationen kommt.
