Philosophy CompassPolysemy is the linguistic phenomenon where a word has more than one sense. Polysemy is important to philosophy. This article considers four related strands of discussion in philosophy in which polysemy plays a crucial role: (i) Chomsky's argument ...

Some philosophers assume that our ordinary parts-whole concepts are intuitive and univocal. Moreover, some assume that mereology—the formal theory of parts-whole relations—adequately captures these intuitive and univocal notions. Lewis (Parts of classes. Blackwell, Oxford, 1991: p.

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.
Ars Comb., 2010Summary: \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, Copredication, and Polysemy-centric Approaches
Abstract This chapter discusses Polysemy-centric approaches to copredication, as well as discussing the relationship between polysemy and copredication more generally. Many classic examples of copredication contain subject terms that are plausibly polysemous.Magidor Ofra +2 more

Logical Polysemy and Subtyping
2013This paper aims at providing a type-theoretical analysis of accidental/logical polysemy with a solution to the problems of copredication constructions discussed in Asher (2011). The main idea consists of 1) a generalization of subtyping which denotes an injection and allows it to be used in functional composition rules, as in CCG, and 2) a certain ...

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 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 ...

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.
