1. Introduction

One of the fundamental problems of lexical semantics is the fact that what C. Ruhl (I989) calls the 'perceived meaning' of a word can vary so greatly from one …

It is necessary to distinguish two separate (although interrelated) notions that are often conflated in discussion of contextual variation of word meaning. The first is the degree of distinctness of two (or more) readings; the second is the extent to which separate entries in the lexicon are justified. The first type of distinctness will be referred to by the traditional term polysemy; the second type will be called polylexy. It is assumed that until a certain degress of polysemy has been demonstrated, questions of polylexy do not arise (i.e., polylexic variants are a sub-class of polysemic variants).
