- Homophony refers to words that are pronounced the same but spelled differently and have different meanings.
- Homography refers to words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently and have different meanings.

This document provides a summary of key concepts in semantics. It defines semantics as the study of meaning in language. There are three main points:
1. Meaning can be studied at the level of sense (the concept or idea associated with a word/expression) or reference (what a word/expression refers to in the real world). There are complex relationships between forms, senses, and referents.
2. A proposition is the basic meaning expressed by a declarative sentence, which can be true or false. Sentences in different languages can express the same proposition.
3. The "semantic triangle" illustrates the relationships between forms, senses, and referents - how a word's form relates to its senseWeek 5 Sentence meaning.pptx

This document defines and discusses key linguistic concepts:
- Sentence meaning is independent of context, while a proposition describes a state of affairs.
- Utterances are uses of language by speakers on occasions, while sentences are abstract strings of words.
- Analytic sentences are necessarily true by word meanings, contradictions are necessarily false, and synthetic sentences may be true or false.
- Paraphrases express the same meaning through rewording or restructuring. Entailment relates sentences where one implies the other.
- Examples are given to illustrate these concepts of meaning, truth conditions, and relationships between sentences. Exercises test understanding of analyzing sentences and identifying paraphrases versus entailment.PPT for Approaches.pptx

1. The document discusses various concepts related to sentential meaning, including paraphrase, ambiguity, vagueness, tautology, presupposition, entailment, anomaly, contradiction, and analyticity.
2. Paraphrase refers to restating a sentence using synonyms while maintaining the same meaning, and can be lexical or structural. Ambiguity occurs when a sentence has more than one possible interpretation, either from individual words or syntactic structure.
3. Other concepts discussed include vagueness, which is a lack of definite meaning; tautology as unnecessary repetition; presupposition as background information assumed to be shared; and entailment as one sentence requiring the truth of another.Reading Comprehension Context Clues
