Polysemy

Definition

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Polysemy is the capacity for a sign (e.g. , a word, phrase, etc. ) or signs to have multiple related meanings, i.e. , a large semantic field. It is usually regarded as distinct from homonymy, in which the multiple meanings of a word may be unconnected or unrelated. Charles Fillmore and Beryl Atkins’ definition stipulates three elements: (i) the various senses of a polysemous word have a central origin, (ii) the links between these senses form a network, and (iii) understanding the ‘inner’ one contributes to understanding of the ‘outer’ one. Polysemy is a pivotal concept within disciplines such as media studies and linguistics. 40x40px Look up polysemy in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
