Personnel Management's Evolution Into Human Resources

The objective of this study is to examine homonyms in the English language and their specific features. Homonyms are words that are identical in sound but which can be differentiated in them meaning. Modern English is reported to be significantly rich in words and word forms that are homonymous. It has been reported, "Languages where short words abound have more homonyms than those where longer words are prevalent. Therefore it is sometimes suggested that abundance of homonyms in Modern English is to be accounted for by the monosyllabic structure of the commonly used English words." (Ibragimov, 2009, p.1) Words as well as other linguistic units may be homonymous. Ibragimov reports the argument that homographs represent a phenomenon that should be separated from homonymy in sound language linguistics however, this is not possible to accept since the educational and cultural written English effects result in a national form of expression based in generalizations and furthermore that the everyday speaker of English does not functionally categorize written and oral forms of English. In fact, just the opposite occurs because to analyze from the view of phonemes would be foreign in nature meaning it is necessary that the linguist considers pronunciation and spelling of words in the analysis of identity of form and diversity of content. Cabanillas (1999) states in the work entitled "The Conflict of Homonyms: Does It Exist?" that it has long been questioned whether "the conflict of homonyms can be considered the cause of different linguistic phenomena." (p.107) The semantic ambiguity of lexical forms is reported in the work of Brown (2008) entitled "Polysemy in the Mental Lexicon to be "pervasive" in nature since a great many "if not most, words have multiple meanings." (Brown, 2008, p.1)
