    Ambiguity → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homonymy can make different readings available for the same form. An utterance is ambiguous when its context leaves more than one of those readings open.

    Equivocation → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homonyms have the same pronunciation or spelling but different meanings. Equivocation can exploit an unnoticed switch between those meanings in an argument. The availability of homonyms alone entails no fallacy.

    False friend → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    False friends resemble one another across languages but differ in meaning. Homonymy concerns distinct meanings associated with the same form. Cross-language resemblance alone is insufficient grounds for classifying two words as homonyms.

    Homonymy → Polysemy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homonymy and polysemy both involve a form with more than one meaning. The distinction depends on whether the meanings are analysed as unrelated or related. Shared spelling alone leaves that question open.

    Homonymy → Homophony

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homophony is identity of sound. Homonymy concerns distinct lexical meanings associated with the same form. The terms can overlap, depending on whether the definition uses pronunciation, spelling or both.

    Homophony → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Homophones sound alike and may be spelt differently. How that relation fits under homonymy depends on whether the analysis requires matching pronunciation, spelling or both. State the criteria before comparing the terms.

    Polysemy → Homonymy

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Polysemy treats the senses of one form as related. Homonymy treats them as lexically distinct. The criterion for relatedness matters, and historical evidence and present-day usage may support different analyses.
