For my part, therefore, I am inclined to see features of both monosemy and polysemy in a word's semantic structure. |
The standard approach to polysemy in natural language processing has been to break down the problem into sub-tasks. |
It is significant that many linguists have sought to limit the role of polysemy in linguistic semantics, if not to eliminate it altogether. |
We have relations of meaning such as synonymy and antonymy, polysemy and homonymy, ways of organizing the vocabulary. |
All the words for actual snow have been removed, and I'm ignoring the extensive polysemy of snow and many of its derivatives. |
On this account, it is the polysemy of the indefinite article that gives rise to the ambiguity of the indefinite noun phrase. |
