is the relation between words with identical forms but different meanings—that
is, the condition of being homonyms.
For example, bear.
A bear (the animal) can bear (tolerate) very cold temperatures.
The driver turned left (opposite of right) and left (departed from) the main road.
A bear (the animal) can bear (tolerate) very cold temperatures.
The driver turned left (opposite of right) and left (departed from) the main road.
"Homonyms are
illustrated from the various meanings of the word ear (of body, of
corn). In these examples, the identity covers both the spoken and written
forms, but it is possible to have partial homonymy,where
the identity is within a single medium, as in homophony and
homography. (David
Crystal. A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics, 6th ed. Blackwell,
2008)
Homophones, also known as sound alike words, are words that are pronounced identically although they have
different spellings and meanings. These words are a very common source of
confusion when writing. Common examples of sets of homophones include:
to,
too, and two; they're and their; bee and be; sun and son; which and witch; and
plain and plane. Vocabulary Spelling City is a
particularly useful tool for learning to correctly use and spell the sound
alike words.
Homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and different pronunciations. Some examples of homographs are:
bass as in fish vs bass as in music,
bow as in arrow vs bow as in bending or taking a bow at the end of a performance,
close as in next to vs close as in shut the door,
desert as in dry climate vs desert as in leaving alone.
