Wikipedia definition
2. PolysemyPolysemy is the capacity for a sign (e.g. , a word, phrase, etc. ) or signs to have multiple meanings, i.e. , a large semantic field. Charles Fillmore and Beryl Atkins’ definition stipulates three elements: (i) the various senses of a polysemous word have a central origin, (ii) the links between these senses form a network, and (iii) understanding the ‘inner’ one contributes to understanding of the ‘outer’ one.
