Differences between English homonyms and polysemous words
The difference between polysemous words and homophones lies in the following two points:
1, the meanings of polysemous words are internally related, but there is no connection between the meanings of homophones.
2. Polysemy means that a word has several interrelated meanings, and homophones are two or several different words, which are not directly related to the aggregation of meanings.
Homographs, words with the same shape but no connection in meaning.
Examples are as follows:
1, polysemous words are characterized by many meanings, but they are all related. Beating people and knitting sweaters are both hand movements, and the relationship between well depth and book depth is concrete. These are all related.
2、? But homonyms have completely different meanings, and it doesn't matter. Like a flower, a meeting is a foreign language. The meaning is completely irrelevant. Essentially, they are two different words.
3, homographs, observe the meaning of "like this"; Taoist temple is a noun, the house where Taoist people live.
Homographs refer to a group of words with the same pronunciation and shape but no connection between meanings. For example:
The meaning of "don't":
Farewell: Farewell to my alma mater.
② Stuck or stuck: No school badge.
No, no: don't go.
The connection between them is that they all contain two or more senses, but the meanings of multiple senses between polysemous words are related, while the meanings of multiple senses between homographs are irrelevant.
