Homonyms and polysemous words create lexical _____; a sentence has more than one meaning because of the multi-meaning word.

English
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

ambiguity

Explanation:

Homonyms refer to words that have the same spelling but different meanings, while polysemous has to do with the different possible meanings of a word. As a result, both may produce uncertainty or inexactness of meaning when dealing with multi-meaning words. For instance, the words <em>bat, band, book, summit paper, watch </em>and <em>can</em> possess different meanings, which can create vagueness if the context does not provide clues to understand the meaning.

Read "The Coyote and the Bear." Which best states the moral of the story? Do not be easily fooled. Do not be selfish. Do not for
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: Do not be easily fooled.

Explanation:

Time and again the Bear fooled the Coyote yet the Coyote kept trusting the Bear without thinking.

The first time the Coyote was tricked into taking Potato stalks but the Coyote could not be blamed for it was the first time.

The second time however the Coyote should have been more cautious but he wasn't and got fooled again.

The third time, the Coyote still again trusted the bear whom he should have known by then not to be a good friend but instead he let himself get fooled again to the amusement of the bear.

The lesson is therefore to not be fooled easily.
