The document discusses the concept of polysemy, which refers to a single word having multiple related meanings, and categorizes its types into regular, inherent, and irregular/idiosyncratic forms. It also presents various approaches to polysemy representation, storage, and generation, as well as applied perspectives from different research methodologies. Finally, it highlights ongoing concerns regarding the representation and emergence of new senses in polysemous expressions.

1. Polysemy
Report by:
Eric Dave
Buduhan

2. - refers to a single word with
more than one meaning
- multiple meanings are listed
under one entry in a dictionary
What is Polysemy
POLYSEMY
poly semy
-many -meaning
The same word which has
related meanings

3. Example
It's your turn to
wash the dishes.
- a kind of plate.
How long does it
take to cook this
dish?
- a meal.

4. Example
One of the bird's
wings is broken.
- parts of a bird for
flying.
The hospital is
building a new wing.
- a new part of a
building.

5. Inherent
Regular Irregular/
Idiosyncratic
Types of Polysemy

6. 01
REGULAR
characterized as the phenomenon in
which a noun has several distinct
but related meanings whereby the
same relation holds between the
meanings for a series of nouns.

7. Example

8. Example

9. Example

10. 02
INHERENT
involves senses where there are no
substantial reasons for assuming that
one or another of them is prior. Rather,
they are so intimately interconnected
with each other that they must be
viewed as being part of a complex
meaning.

11. Example

12. 03
IRREGULAR /
IDIOSYNCRATIC
simply irregular polysemy is a form of
polysemy in which two words or
meanings have an unsystematic
relationship and are usually connected
by metaphorical relationships.

Preliminaries
What is Polysemy?

17. 02
Approaches to polysemy
representation, storage, and
generation
2.1. The sense enumeration lexicon
2.2. The one representation hypothesis
2.2.1. Thin semantics
2.2.2. Rich semantics

18. 02
Approaches to polysemy
representation, storage, and
generation
2.3. Literalist approaches
2.3.1. Rule-based approaches
2.3.2. The coercion hypothesis
2.3.3. Lexical pragmatic approaches
2.4. Sense networks and LCCMs
2.5. Concepts and conventions

19. 03
Polysemy from an applied
perspective
The different papers collected in this
volume show what kind of findings
different methods provide, and also how
these different research methodologies
can interact and converge in order to
evaluate the merits and demerits of
particular accounts.

20. 04
Conclusion
Two main concerns in the contemporary
discussion have been identified: the
question of how the different senses of a
polysemous expression are represented
and stored, and the question of how
new senses arise and eventually
establish as senses of a polysemous
term.
