i love these videos !! in Spanish "true" homonyms are virtually non-existent. non-homophonic homographs are disrupted by the accent system: in "ingles" (thigh) vs. "inglés" (English) the accent mark serves the purpose of marking the stressed syllable & thus different pronunciation of two otherwise homographic words. however non-homographic homophones are possible: "botar" (to throw out) & "votar" (to vote) *are* pronounced the same.
Why the word « bear » is not considered as a polysemy ? Same word and 2 meaning , exactly as the same example you gave in the polysemy « right » ,,, i can’t see any difference between the two words
"bear= animal" and "bear=verb" are not polysemous because their meanings are altogether unrelated. They just happen to have the same spelling and sound.
Bear(noun) and Bear(verb),,,sir I think this is both homophone and homograph, so how can we classify it under Homonymy i.e, whether it is Homophone or Homograph?
There’s another concept I know which is “complete homonyms”,i.e when two words have the same pronunciation and written form, we call them complete homonyms.😊
