Polysemy: Theoretical and Computational Approaches

Polysemy is a term used in semantic and lexical analysis to describe a word with multiple meanings. Although such words present few difficulties in everyday communication, they do pose near-intractable problems for linguists and lexicographers. The contributors in this volume consider the
implications of these problems for linguistic theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics.
