Polysemy

Historiographia Linguistica, 1997
Summary40 years ago Stephen Ullmann wrote that polysemy was the pivot of semantics. He was referring then to traditional synchronic and diachronic semantics. Nowadays, some 40 years later, polysemy has again become a central topic in cognitive semantics.

Virtual polysemy

Proceedings of the 15th conference on Computational linguistics -, 1994
We present an approach to lexical knowledge representation where different uses of the same word can be conflated into a single meta-entry which encodes regularities about sense/usage extensibility. This approach makes it possible to solve lexical ambiguities by using contextual information during language processing to ground underspecified word ...

POLYSEMY

1984
Abstract The aspect of polysemy which I wish to address in this paper concerns the issue of how working lexicographers divide lexical items or words into different, usually numbered, meanings. It is not infrequently stated that lexicographers are somewhat shy of explaining their own techniques – or are perhaps too busy to do so – or even

On competition polysemy and \(m\)-competition polysemy.

2010
Summary: \textit{M. Fischermann} et al. [Discrete Math. 282, No. 1--3, 251--255 (2004; Zbl 1042.05068)] generalized bound polysemy to competition polysemy by using digraphs instead of posets. They provided a characterization of competition polysemic pairs and a characterization of the connected graphs \(G\) for which there exists a tree \(T\) such that

Polysemy

2000
Abstract This volume of newly commissioned essays examines current theoretical and computational work on polysemy, the term used in semantic analysis to describe words with more than one meaning or function, sometimes perhaps related (as in plain) and sometimes perhaps not (as in bank).

Polysemy

2016
Polysemy is an interesting phenomenon that concerns cases in which a word or phrase enjoys multiple, related meanings. This article distinguishes polysemy from similar phenomena and presents some tests for determining the presence of polysemy. In addition, polysemy is differentiated from other phenomena that involve potential multiplicity of meaning ...

Disambiguating polysemy

Review of Cognitive Linguistics
Abstract This paper examines whether observers use gestural information to decide the meaning of the polysemous verb touch in ambiguous contexts. To address this question, three studies were carried out.

Case Polysemy

2012
AbstractIt is probably true that cases which are restricted to one specific meaning are rarer than cases subsuming several meanings. The origins of these polysemies or syncretisms vary: some are conditioned by phonetic factors, especially pervasive in the situation when a case system collapses, others have a transparent semantic basis.
