Abstract

Polysemy appears to be an artefact of traditional ontology in the philosophy of language. To reconsider it, we must dethrone the concept of the single sign and uphold the interpretative perspective. By analyzing the semantic liberation of set expressions in context, we can examine the variety of interpretative paths that establish or promote ambiguous meanings. Interpretative semantics thus significantly limits the issue of polysemy, and without pretending to resolve it, helps to dissolve it by revealing why it is poorly expressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
