	homonymy - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about homonymy
		Other types of homonymy are homophony, (as in air and heir; gilt and guilt), which may sound the same but look different, and homography (as in the wind in the trees and roads that wind) which may look the same but sound different.
		Aspect of language in which, through historical accident, two or more words may sound and look alike (homonymy proper, as in a farmer's bull and a papal bull).

	A Fundamental Problem about Hylomorphism: A Supplement to Aristotle's Psychology
		For surely it is that claim which is the root of his difficulty; it is precisely his appeal to homonymy which renders an application of hylomorphism to soul-body relations problematic.
		In appealing to homonymy in this connection, Aristotle means to suggest that a body without a soul is no more a body than an eye in a sculpture of a human being is an eye.
		Now, whatever Aristotle's motives for appealing to homonymy in this connection may be, it should first be appreciated that it has immediate and problematic consequences for his hylomorphic analysis of soul and body.

	ON PAREMIOLOGICAL HOMONYMY AND SYNONYMY
		To avoid homonymy, it is not sufficient (in a dictionary or collection) to just cite a folk saying or a quotation, it is necessary to indicate to which paremiological type it belongs, i.e.
		Paremia, then, like other language signs, posses the properties of homonymy and synonymy, and this must be taken into account in recording and analysing paremiological items.
		The absence of an indissoluble bond between the sign and the referent provides the fundamental basis for the existence of homonymy and synonymy, phenomena inherent in any set of signs, including, no doubt, signs of the natural languages.

	The Code: Articles 42 - 60
		If homonymy between family group names results from similarity but not identity of the names of their type genera, the case is to be referred to the Commission for a ruling, unless the senior homonym is a nomen oblitum.
		Homonymy applies to all genus group names including collective groups and ichnotaxa at the genus group level.
		A species group name rejected after 1960 on grounds of junior secondary homonymy is reinstated by anyone who believes that the two species group taxa in question are not congeneric (unless invalid for another reason).

	ArtsSemNet
		Five important lexical relations are defined: polysemy, synonymy, homonymy, antonymy and hyponymy, the latter serving as the basis of the hierarchical organization of the ontology.
		These are further augmented with various terminological relations (polysemy, synonymy, homonymy, antonymy and hyponymy) and organised into a bilingual semantic network similar to WordNet.
		In addition, a specialised hypertext browser is implemented in order to enable intuitive query and navigation through the network.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.08.11
		His reason for joining paronymy and homonymy is that he views homonymy as a degenerate case of paronymy: whereas the courageous man is so-called paronymously from courage (the words differ), the white (thing) is called homonymously from the white (as general quality).
		M.'s claim to originality lies in the novel and unusual interpretations he gives to several aspects of Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, specifically, the significance of homonymy, synonymy and paronymy for Aristotle's theory of predication, the influence of Anaxagorean homoiomeries on Plato's theory of Forms, and the importance of the Late-Learners in the Sophist.
		M argues ingeniously that if we interpret Aristotle's -onymies as forms of Platonic eponymy we can see that paronymy and homonymy correspond to the Aristotelian being-in relation.

	General Introduction to the Draft BioCode - ROM
		Botanical practice does not distinguish "secondary homonymy" and considers that a homonym would only be created with the publication of the "new combination", the binomen in the genus into which the species are being brought together.
		The danger that, in view of that quasi-generic function, they might have to be considered for purposes of homonymy (and thus indexed) has been avoided by the proposed convention of considering the multiplication sign as part of these "names".
		The major change with respect to the homonymy rule would be that, in the future, it would operate across the kingdoms (Art.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: Order in Multiplicity
		Shields identifies homonymy as both a critical tool, with Plato as the target, by means of which Aristotle can emphasize the complexity of core philosophical concepts; and as a constructive method for the discovery of order in multiplicity, which is crucial for genuine scientific inquiry and philosophical progress.
		Shields argues that Aristotle is right to advocate homonymy as a form of constructive philosophical analysis, and that it is a framework of enduring value and with prospects for genuine philosophical progress.
		Shields argues that, aside from the attempt to apply homonymy to being, Aristotle's commitment to homonym is well motivated, and it introduces a method of definition that is of genuine and lasting importance.

		One area of study is the meaning of compounds, another is the study of relations between different linguistic expressions (homonymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, hypernymy, hyponymy).
		Semantics is a subfield of linguistics that is traditionally defined as the study of meaning.
		Semantics deals with sense and reference, truth conditions and discourse analysis.

	Kostas' Lexical/Sense relations
		Saeed says that both homonymy and polysemy 'deal with multiple senses(meanings) of the same phonological world(words that sound the same), but polysemy is invoked if the senses are judged to be related'(1997, p64).

	Semantic disambiguation of natural language input in an ART neural network: the cases of homonymy
		Based on the ART model, it is argued that homonymy and polysemy are subserved by identical neural mechanisms, and that the distinction between homonymy and polysemy is a matter of degree rather than quality.
		Semantic disambiguation of natural language input in an ART neural network: the cases of homonymy
		These findings shed new light on the traditional conflict between propositional semantics on the one hand and prototype and lexical semantics on the other: lexical prototypes are established Long-Term Memory islands that have been acquired over the course of language use in time and different contexts.

	English linguistic words polysemy, polysemous, and homonyms plus the blind men and the elephant by John Saxe
		Dictionaries treat cases of multiple meanings either as polysemy or as homonymy, but in fact it is not always easy to decide which we are dealing with, and dictionaries sometimes differ in their decisions.
		There is an extensive grey area between the concepts of polysemy and homonymy.
		Would you identify the following variations in the meanings of "up" as polysemy or homonymy?

	ECAL 2003 - Why Synonymy is Rare: Fitness is in the Speaker
		Innate dispositions to synonymy and homonymy are modelled here, in relation to alternative roles of speaking and hearing in determining fitness.
		Conversely, when interpretive success is the basis for fitness, a genotype evolves which is averse to homonymy, while tolerating synonymy.
		In the computer model, linguistic signs are acquired via different genetically determined strategies, variously (in)tolerant to synonymy or homonymy.

	CoreLex: An Ontology of Systematic Polysemous Classes
		Systematic polysemy-- senses that are systematically related and therefore predictable over classes of lexical items -- is fundamentally different from homonymy -- senses that are unrelated, non-systematic and therefore not predictable.
		This paper is concerned with a unified approach to the systematic polysemy and underspecification of nouns.
		At the same time, studies in discourse analysis show that lexical items are often left underspecified for a number of related senses.

	ARISTOTLE ON THE SEPARATION OF SPECIES-FORM
		Despite their homonymy, or diversity of definition, the categorial meanings are nonetheless unified, in virtue of their various connections to substance, the foundational principle of the inquiry.
		To begin with, the notion that Aristotle's interest in homonymy is an interest in the multiple meanings of words is a serious distortion.
		For Owen, these connections between categories are semantic connections, linking the various nominal definitions of the word 'being; they are not essential and causal connections, linking objective genera of beings to their common source and principle; thus they cannot be analysed according to Aristotle's normal demonstrative practice.

	OUP: Order in Multiplicity: Shields
		Aristotle attaches particular significance to the homonymy of many central concepts in philosophy and science: that is, to the diversity of ways of being common to a single general concept.
		His preoccupation with homonymy influences his approach to almost every subject that he considers, and it clearly structures the philosophical methodology that he employs both when criticizing others and when advancing his own positive theories.
		Where there is homonymy there is multiplicity: Aristotle aims to find the order within this multiplicity, and believes that doing so is crucial to scientific inquiry and philosophical progress.

	Essaydirect.com: Lexical Relations - Term Paper
		In these examples, homonymy covers both spoken and written forms, but it is also possible that the identity of two lexemes is within a single medium, in which case linguists would speak of partial homonymy or heteronymy (ibid.
		Thus, polysemy and homonymy can be distinguished from each other by the existing or missing relatedness between the meanings which can be allocated to one phonological form.
		Crystal defines homonymy as "a term used in semantic analysis to refer to [two or more] lexical items which [happen to] have the same form, but differ in meaning" (Crystal 1997, 185).

		For example, Dendrocerus australicus (Dodd, 1914) is applied to two valid taxa within the same insect genus (!!), and the homonymy has not yet been resolved in the literature: one was originally described in the genus Megaspilus, the other was originally described in the genus Lygocerus, and they were each moved into Dendrocerus...
		(b) Where names are regulated by the same Code, such homonymy ought not occur, but sometimes it does, and sometimes the two names can both be seen as valid/accepted!
		Both are considered valid taxa, but no replacement name has been designated to resolve the homonymy.

		In isolation, the syllable biān is ambiguous because of this homonymy.
		(However, some dialect groups, such as Cantonese, have more elaborate inventories of syllabic types, and therefore more possible syllables and less homonymy.
		A fourth implication of such a writing system is that a written text in a compact, literary style that takes advantage of the features of the writing system that make it concise cannot necessarily be understood if read out loud.

		Colloquially, such inter-language homonymy is referred to as 'chou-cabbages' (French 'chou' means 'cabbage' in English but it is pronounced roughly the same as English 'shoe' with a totally different meaning).
		In the area of homonymy as a totally accidental identity of form and difference in meaning, Czech has interesting relations to other languages.
		In spoken as well as in written language Czech has words and even phrases which are homonymous with English, German, French (and other lanugages') words and/or phrases.

	Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 60(2) June 2003
		The purpose of this application, under Articles 29 and 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove homonymy between the family names CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca) and CLIONIDAE d'Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera) by changing the spelling of the junior homonym.
		The Commission has ruled that the homonymy between the family-group names CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich & Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera) and CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes) is removed by emending the spelling of the rotifer family-group name by adopting the full genus name as the stem, giving the corresponding family-group name CLARIAIDAE Kutikova, Markevich & Spiridonov, 1990.
		The Commission has ruled that the homonymy between CLAVIDAE McCrady, 1859 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) and CLAVINAE Casey, 1904 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) should not be removed.

		The basic meaning of the character is 'to go, proceed' (reflected as 'to go out' in the Shuowen gloss, but occurring in texts only with the normal meaning 'to go, proceed'); the use of for a pronoun is secondary, due to homonymy.
		The top character is pronounced as Qin (or Chin), it is a 7 string plucked musical instrument similar to a zither.
