HOMONYMS

Омонимы

Омоним (греч. homónyma, от homós – одинаковый и ónyma – имя), одинаково звучащие единицы языка, в значении которых (в отличие от значений многозначных единиц) нет общих семантических элементов. Лексические омонимы возникают: вследствие звукового совпадения различных по происхождению слов, например, «рысь» (бег) и «рысь» (животное); в результате полного расхождения значений многозначного слова, например, «мир» (вселенная) и «мир» (отсутствие войны, вражды); при параллельном словообразовании от той же основы, например, «тройка» (лошадей) и «тройка» (отметка). Понимание омонимов определяется контекстом, однако отсутствие у омонимов общих семантических элементов делает невозможным совмещение их значений.

Case – 1) something that has happened (случай);

2) a question or problem that will be dealt with by a law court (дело);

3) an example of a particular situation, problem, etc. (случай, пример);

4) a large box or container in which things can be stored or moved (ящик);

5) the way in which the form of the word changes, showing its relationship to other words in a sentence (падеж).

Criminal – 1) related to or connected with crime (преступный, уголовный);

2) someone who is involved in illegal activity or has been proved guilty of a crime (престкпник).
