REVIEW | Rangers 3-1 Falkirk-Duration: 2 minutes, 13 seconds.
homonym â(plural homonyms). ( 1 semantics, strict sense) A word that both sounds and is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning. ( 2 loosely) A word that sounds or is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning, technically called a homophone (same sound) or a homograph (same spelling).
Homographs are words that are spelled alike, but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. The root graph comes from the Greek word meaning âdrawn or written,â thus these terms are written the same. For example, stalk is both a plant stem and a verb meaning to pursue stealthily.omonyms are words that are both spelled and pronounced the same. Therefore a homonym is both a type of homograph and a type of homophone. To be correct I believe the Venn diagram should have one circle labeled homograph and the other labeled homophone. The intersection should be labeled homonym.
