  3. When I saw the example of homograph above, It look like a polysemy (one word but have many meanings). How can? Please tell me why. Thankyou.

    1. Homographs are words that are spelled the same, no matter the pronunciation but have a different meaning as in hound (a dog breed) or hound (to pester).and Polysemes that have the same spelling, but related and distinct meanings. In other words, mouth (the orifice on your face) and mouth (the opening for a body of water or a cave) are polysemous.actually polysemy and homograph have same spelling and different meaning but for example meaning of polysemy related to each other.

    1. because homonym,homophone and homograph relation with Lexical semantics examines relationships among word meanings. It is the study of how the lexicon is organized and how the lexical meanings of lexical items are interrelated, and it's principal goal is to build a model for the structure of the lexicon by categorizing the types of relationships between words.
