Examples of homonymhomonym Therefore, it is possible that homonyms would be responded to more accurately than novel words in a task emphasizing lexical representations, such as picture naming. Thus, changes in known lexical representations may lead to changes in homonym learning but not novel word learning. In three types of trial the puppet indicates the same object as the child, an irrelevant object, or the homonym. Since homonymy is very similar to synonymy, the argument can be extended to the case of homonyms. What remains to be learned is whether a homonym disadvantage, no effect, or a homonym advantage would be observed in naturalistic word learning. The present investigation offers an empirical test that provides a quantifiable comparison between the acquisition of homonyms and nonsense words. The influence of word frequency on homonym learning has not been explored previously. This difference is due to the low number of homonyms compared to polysemous entries. For example, being the complement of said does not force disambiguation of homonyms. This is an interesting finding in light of the fact that accurate homonym interpretation appears to be emerging, but not mastered, in this age group. Children are shown sets of pictures which include a homonym pair, for example, bat (animal) and bat (sporting equipment). Learning the novel stimuli is similar to learning a new word that is not a homonym. This would imply that children simply do not learn homonyms. While there is evidence documenting the effect of phonotactic probability on novel word learning, it is unclear whether phonotactic probability would influence homonym learning. Only a small percentage of these children, however, were able to map the correct secondary meaning of the homonym. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
