MATERIALS AND METHODS:
From ambiguous words, i.e. words that
in different contexts have different meanings, it
is customary to delimit homonyms. Homonyms
are words that sound the same, are identical in
form, but meanings that are in no way related
to each other, i.e. do not contain any common
elements of meaning, no common semantic
features. Homonyms are separate independent
words, double words. For example, a meter is
100 centimetres, a meter is a poetic dimension,
and a meter is a mentor.
You should also strictly distinguish
homonyms from omophores, homophones,

homographs and paronyms [7,8]. Homonyms
coincide with each other both in sound and in
writing in all (or in a number) of their inherent
grammatical forms. Homonyms, therefore,
represent words of the same grammatical class.
If such words coincide in all grammatical
forms, then these are complete homonyms (to
force - to force something to be done and to
force - to block it, a fist is a hand with clenched
fingers and a fist is a rich peasant owner). If
such words coincide only in several
grammatical forms, then these are incomplete
homonyms (a bow is a garden plant and a bow
is a weapon for throwing arrows; the first word
does not have a plural) [9-11]. Omoforms are
called, in contrast to homonyms, words of both
the same and different grammatical classes,
which coincide in sound only in separate forms
(a verse is from a poem and a verse from
subsiding). Homonyms and homoforms are
also adjoined by homophones, which are words
and forms of different meanings, which are
pronounced the same but written differently.
Homographs are words and forms, different in
meaning, but equally depicted in writing. In
pronunciation, homographs do not coincide
with each other [12-14].
If we compare different meanings -
those that are recognized as the meanings of
one word, and those that are considered the
meanings of homonymous words, we will find a
significant difference between the relationship
of the corresponding objects and phenomena.
For example, a sound complex solution can
have the following meanings noted in
dictionaries:
1. The angle formed by the parted ends of a tool
(scissor blades, compass legs, etc.)
A hole formed when a double-leaf window,
door, gate, etc. is opened.
2. A liquid resulting from the dissolution of a
solid, liquid or gaseous substance in a liquid
substance.
3. In the construction business: a viscous, pasty
mixture obtained from mixing cement or other
binders with water.
It is easy to see that while there is a
definite connection between the first two
meanings, as well as the next two, there is
nothing in common between the two. These
meanings
are
given
in
dictionaries,
respectively, as meanings of the same word and
as meanings of homonymous words. From the
point of view of their morphological structure,
homonyms are divided into roots and
derivatives. Lexical homonyms as units of the
vocabulary system of the language should be
distinguished from the sound coincidences of
speech segments. Homonymic speech segments
are phonetic units that arise as identically
sounding complexes in speech and do not exist
in the form of reproducible and integral
formations
[11-13].
The
problem
of
differentiating homonymy and polysemy can
arise when homonyms appear as a result of the
semantic splitting of a polysemantic word. At
the same time, completely different words are
formed based on different meanings of one
word. Their previous semantic connections are
lost, and only an etymological analysis makes it
possible to establish a once common semantic
feature, testifying to their single historical root.
However, the divergence of the meanings of a
polysemantic word occurs very slowly, and
therefore the appearance of homonyms is not
always recognized as a completed process.
Transitional cases are possible, which can be
interpreted in different ways. Modern science
has developed criteria for distinguishing
homonymy and ambiguity, helping to separate
the meanings of the same word and homonyms
that arose as a result of a complete rupture of
polysemy.
1. A lexical way of differentiating ambiguity and
homonymy is proposed, which consists in
identifying synonymous relationships between
homonyms and polysemantic. If the consonant
