HOMONYM
Definition
In linguistics, a homonym is one of a
group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have
different meanings, usually as a result of the two words having different
origins.
In a looser, non-technical sense, the
term "homonym" can be used to refer to two different kinds of words:
a) words that share the same spelling
(irrespective of their pronunciation)
b) words that share the same pronunciation
(irrespective of their spelling)
While
HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled
the same but have different meanings.
Some examples of homographs are:
bass as in fish vs bass as in music
bow as in arrow vs bow as in bending
or taking a bow at the end of a performance
close as in next to vs close as in
shut the door
desert as in dry climate vs desert as
in leaving alone.
Homophones are a type of homonym that
also sound alike and have different meanings, but have different spellings.
Common examples of sets of homophones
include: to, too, and two; they're and their; bee and be; sun and son; which
and witch; and plain and plane.
Explanation in Bahasa Indonesia
Homonym adalah kata-kata
yang pelafalan (sound) dan ejaannya (spelling) sama namun artinya (meaning)
berbeda.
Example homonym
Accept (to receive) and Except
(excluding)
Acts (things done) and Ax (chopping
tool)
Ad (advertisement) and Add (short for
addition)
Affect (to influence) and Effect
(result)
Here are some examples of homonyms
that are commonly messed up :
To, Two, and Too looked to the sky
and saw two planets. I saw Jupiter and Venus, too!
Your, You're, and Yore, You're going
to regret bringing your puppy to Helsinki; that's what they said in the days of
yore.
Its and It's, When it's cold outside,
the ninja clan sleeps in its dojo.
Principle and Principal, The
principal of the ninja school has no principles; I hear he beats children!
