We present an approach to lexical ambiguity where regularities about sense/u~ge extensibillty are represented by underepecifying word entries through lexic~d polymorphism. Word diumbiguation is carried out using contextual information gathered during language processing to ground polymorphic lexical entries.

Semantic ambiguity can occur either as a consequence of ambiguity between unrelated meanings (e.g. bank) or ambiguity between related senses (e.g. hook). Early research did not distinguish between the two, finding that ambiguous words were recognized faster than unambiguous words. More recently it has been shown that words with many meanings suffer from a disadvantage in terms of recognition ti...

Lexical ambiguity—the phenomenon of a single word having multiple, distinguishable senses—is pervasive in language. Both the degree ambiguity (roughly, its number senses) and relatedness those senses have been found to widespread effects on language acquisition processing. Recently, distributional approaches semantics, which word's meaning is determined by contexts, led successful research quan...

Translation debates have continued to be passionately argued. The study of the connection between philosophy and translation on one hand ambiguity in other both been growing. is unavoidable inevitable. Notwithstanding, philosophers not tackled question directly; general has indirectly by some philosophers. Ambiguity a fertile field investigate. written sentences problematic since they are trans...
