Homophones, Homonyms, and Homographs (#1)

One thing that sometimes makes English spelling and pronunciation very challenging is often-confused words called homophones, homonyms, and homographs. Homophones are two or more words with the same pronunciation but different spellings, meanings, or origins. Here are a few very common examples: homophones ail ale brake break close clothes doe do dough aye eye ( )i " kl$u% " clothes d$u " pronunciation !il " br!ik " meanings be sick a kind of alcoholic drink stop by using a brake shatter# disconnect# free time opposite of open apparel# things to wear female deer or rabbit first note of the musical scale &do, re, mi, fa . . .' mixture of flour, water, etc. used for making bread yes &in the navy and in meetings' you see with it first person singular

Homophones, Homonyms, and Homographs (#2)

(n addition to homophones &words with the same sound, but different spellings, meanings, or origins', there are also homographs &words with the same spellings, but different meanings, origins, or pronunciations. /here are two large subgroups: 0ubgroup 1: /hese common words have the same spelling and pronunciation, but very different meanings and or origins. 2ommon examples: homographs differences! bear &3' bear &3': a kind of animal bear &4' bear &4': to carry date &3' date &4' fast &5d,' fast &4' hide &3' hide &4' net &3' net &5d,' pick &3' pick &4' date &3': a kind of fruit# a calendar time date &4': to determine the age# to -go outfast &5d,': 6uick fast &4': to abstain from &choose not to eat' food hide &3': animal skin hide &4': to conceal net &3': woven trap made of rope or cord net &5d,': amount remaining after deductions pick &3': a kind of tool pick &4': to choose

! "hec# an $nglish%$nglish dictionary or an etymological dictionary to see the different origins of many of these &ords.

0ubgroup 7:

/hese words have the same spelling, but different stress. /he stress changes for the noun and verb forms of these words. Examples: homographs! )ddress &3' addr!ss &4' differences address &3': where one lives address &4': to give a speech# to write an address compress &3': medicine put on a cloth and worn next to the skin compress &4': press together !xport &3' exp$rt &4' export &3': something that is exported export &4': to send a product outside a country &to be sold' *nsult &3': insulting action or words ins.lt &4': to say or do something which is offensive or rude convert &3': someone who has changed from one group &for example, a religion' to another convert &4': to change from one form to another d!sert &3' des!rt &4' desert &3': dry place desert &4': abandon

Homophones, Homonyms, and Homographs (#')

(n yesterday+s Hint we learned that homographs are words with the same spelling, but different meanings, origins, or pronunciations. (n the Hint for two days ago, we learned that homophones are words with the same pronunciation, but different spellings, meanings, or origins. :hat, then, are homonyms; (ns&er) 0ome references say that homonyms are words with the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings &like top meaning -highest surface,- top meaning -a kind of spinning toy,- and top meaning -to be better or more than-'. Other references use homonym to mean both homographs and homophones. (t+s confusing<

Homonym
In linguistics, a homonym is one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings, usually as a result of the two words having different origins. Some sources only require that homonyms share the same spelling or pronunciation (in addition to having different meanings), but these are the definitions most other sources give for homographs and homophones respectively. The state of being a homonym is called homonymy. E amples of homonyms are stalk (which as a noun can mean part of a plant, and as a verb to follow!harass a person), bear (animal) and bear (carry), left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave). Some sources also consider the following trio of words to be homonyms, but others designate them as "only" homophones# to, too and two (actually, to, to, too, too and two, being "for the purpose of" as in "to ma$e it easier", the opposite of "from", also, excessively, and "%", respectively). Some sources state that homonym meanings must be unrelated in origin

(rather than &ust different). Thus right (correct) and right (opposed to left) would be polysemous (see below) and not homonyms. There is similar confusion about the definition of some of the related terms described below. This article e plains what appear to be the "standard" meanings, and variant definitions are then summarised under "Terminological confusion". The word "homonym" comes from the con&unction of the 'ree$ prefi homo- (()*), meaning "same", and suffi -nymos (*+,-().), meaning "name". Thus, it refers to two or more distinct concepts sharing the "same name" or signifier. /n e ample of a homonym is ban$ and ban$,they have the same spelling and prounciation but different meanings.

Related terms
Several similar linguistic concepts are related to homonymy. The term :homonym: is ambiguous because there are a number of ways that two meanings can share the :same name: and because the term is used in different ways by educated spea$ers, and these variant meanings are recorded by dictionaries. The terms homograph and homophone are however usually defined the same way as meaning "same spelling" and "same sound" respectively, and heteronym and homonym can be seen as respective subclasses of these.

Homographs are words that share the same spelling regardless of how they are pronounced. 7omographs may be pronounced the same, in which case they are also homophones < for e ample, bark (the sound of a dog) and bark (the s$in of a tree). /lternatively they may be pronounced differently, in which case they are also heteronyms < for e ample, bow (the front of a ship) and bow (a type of $not). ("7omograph" also has a specialised meaning in typography, where it may be used as a synonym for homoglyph.) Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation regardless of how they are spelled. 7omophones may be spelled the same (in which case they are also homographs) or spelled differently (in which case they are heterographs). 7omographic e amples include tire (to become weary) and tire (on the wheel of a car). 7eterographic e amples include to, too, two, and there, their, theyre. Heteronyms can be seen as the subclass of homographs (words that share the same spelling) that have different pronunciations. That is, they are homographs which are not homophones. This means words that are spelled the same but with different pronunciations (and meanings). Such words include desert (to abandon) and desert (arid region)= row (to argue or an argument) and row (as in to row a boat or a row of seats). >ote that the latter meaning also constitutes a homophone. 7eteronyms are also sometimes called heterophones. ("7eteronym" also has a speciali?ed meaning in poetry= see 7eteronym (literature).) Homonyms can be seen as the subclass of homophones that are spelled the same, which is logically the same as the subclass of homographs that are pronounced the same. This means words that are spelled and pronounced the same (but have different meanings). Polysemes are words with the same spelling and distinct but related meanings. The distinction between polysemy and homonymy is often subtle and sub&ective, and not all sources consider polysemous words to be homonyms. @ords such as "mouth", meaning either the orifice on one:s face, or the opening of a cave or river, are polysemous and may or may not be considered homonyms. Capitonyms are words that share the same spelling but have different meanings when capitali?ed (and may or may not have different pronunciations). Such words include polish (to ma$e shiny) and Polish (from Aoland).

In derivation, homograph means "same writing", homophone means "same sound", heteronym means "different name", and heterophone means "different sound".

That Homonyms, Heteronyms belong to the subset of Homographs and Homophones follow from the fact that Homographs only care about spellings and Homophones only care about pronunciations The root of the terminological confusion !see below" is the fact that for words to be Homophonic#Homographic they should merely have the same pronunciation#spelling while there is no comment on spelling#pronunciation made respectively

Terminological confusion
There is considerable confusion and contradiction in published sources about the distinction between homonyms, homographs, homophones and heteronyms. Significant variant interpretations include#

Chambers $%st Century &ictionary 021 defines a homonym as "a word with the same sound and spelling as another, but with a different meaning" (italics added). 'ongman &ictionary of Contemporary (nglish0%1 also defines a homonym as "a word that is spelt the same and sounds the same as another, but is different in meaning or origin." )andom House *nabridged &ictionary041 e plains in greatest detail that homonym is the technically correct term for words that are simultaneously homographs and homophones but that it is used in the sense of only homograph or only homophone in nontechnical conte ts. +erriam-,ebster

-nline &ictionary 061 also says that a homonym is "one of two or more words spelt and pronounced ali$e but different in meaning" (italics added), but appears to also give homonym as a synonym for either homophone or homograph. Cambridge &ictionary of .merican (nglish 081 defines homonym as "a word that is spelt the same as another word but that does not have the same meaning" and adds "/ homonym is also a homophone".

The entry for homograph in The (ncyclopaedia /ritannica !%0th (dition" states that homographs are "words spelt but not sounded ali$e", and homophones are "words ali$e only in sound (i.e. not ali$e in spelling)" (italics and comment added). 7omographs are defined in the -xford (nglish &ictionary as words that are spelt and pronounced the same as another but with a different meaning (which is the definition of a homonym in most other sources), thus e cluding pairs such as desert (abandon) and desert (arid region), which are considered homographs by most other sources. The (ncarta dictionary 091 defines heteronym as "each of two or more words that are spelt the same, but differ in meaning and often in pronunciation" (italics added). The "5un with @ords" website 0C1 similarly says that a heteronym is "Dne of two (or more) words that have the same spelling, but different meaning, and sometimes different pronunciation too".

Further examples
/ further e ample of a homonym which is both a homophone and a homograph is fluke. 1luke can mean#

/ fish, and a flatworm. The end parts of an anchor. The fins on a whale:s tail. / stro$e of luc$.

/ll four are separate le emes with separate etymologies, but share the one form, fluke.E0F1 Similarly, a river bank, a savings bank, a bank of switches, and a bank shot in pool share only a common spelling and pronunciation, but not meaning. The words bow and bough are interesting because there are two meanings associated with a single pronunciation and spelling (the weapon and the $not)= there are two meanings with two different pronunciations (the $not and the act of bending at the waist), and there are two distinct meanings sharing the same sound but different spellings# (bow, the act of bending at the waist, and bough, the branch of a tree). In addition, it has several related but distinct meanings * a bent line is sometimes called a :bowed: line, reflecting its similarity to the weapon. Thus, even according to the most restrictive definitions, various

pairs of sounds and meanings of bow and bough are homonyms, homographs, homophones, heterophones, heterographs, and are polysemous.

bow * To bend forward at the waist in respect (e.g. "bow down") bow * the front of the ship (e.g. "bow and stern") bow * the weapon which shoots arrows (e.g. "bow and arrow") bow * a $ind of tied ribbon (e.g. bow on a present, a bowtie) bow * to bend outward at the sides (e.g. a "bow*legged" cowboy) bough * a branch on a tree. (e.g. "when the bough brea$s...") bG * a long staff, usually made of tapered hard wood or bamboo beau**a male paramour

Homonymy in historical linguistics

7omonymy can lead to communicative conflicts and thus trigger le ical (onomasiological) change0H1. This is $nown as homonymic conflict.
