Abstract

Polysemy is a word meaning a variety of contact with each other linguistic phenomenon. A word in the context of actual use can indicate different entities or different situations, so the vast majority of natural language terms used in greater or lesser extent, are ambiguous. Univocal meaning only one word, while polysemy is in a language form of two or more interrelated meanings joins the body. Taylor (1989:100) believes that if different uses of a word requires that the interpretation of the word involves two different domains or two different domains, it strongly suggests that the term was polysemy. Even if the different meanings of a word shown in the same domain, the term can still be polysemy. 1999, Langacker elaborated in his imagery network based on the use of language-based model theory. Langacker in his book \Based on the model used in the language, he emphasis on the practical use of the language system and language of the Statute for the speaker's understanding of the entire system, regardless of whether the statute of these languages ??can be included in a layer in a more overarching generalizations. Polysemy in natural language everywhere. Therefore, polysemy is a focus of concern in linguistics. About Polysemy frequency of occurrence of expression, the expression patterns and definitions in the field of linguistics, there are still a lot of controversy. However, linguists were generally consistent with the view that, when words with more than one meaning, they appeared polysemy. In addition, the phenomenon of linguistic ambiguity on the definition of a link between requirements of more than one meaning, in large part by the polysemy, univocal phenomena and phenomena distinguish homonyms decision. In polysemy and homonymy distinction between phenomena, I believe that polysemy is more fundamental change of meaning in the form of the homonym phenomena are more likely to be due to the process of change in semantic meaning of the loss of some of the necessary status of meaning changes caused by incomplete records. This article from the introduction, body (four chapters) and conclusion consists of: Introduction Part 1: General linguistics right now Polysemy Research, pointed out the shortcomings of the research field, leads to the main content of this paper, that is \The word, for example, from the perspective of the model based on the language used to explore more deeply polysemy. The first chapter reviews the definition of Polysemy and traditional schools of linguistics major research Polysemy, then polysemy, homonymy phenomena and made a distinction between univocal phenomenon. Chapter II laid the theoretical framework of this study. Views on Polysemy some extent inspired the 1980s the rise of cognitive linguistics. Because from a cognitive path analysis Polysemy is an integral part of cognitive linguistics, this chapter first provides an overview of cognitive linguistics and cognitive linguists certain polysemy Institute made contributions. Section II focuses on cognitive linguistics and polysemy research closely related to several theories. Section III discusses the figurative and metaphorical two semantic extension mechanisms. The third chapter explains the use of language-based Langacker dynamic model theory after examining a \The author first introduces the dynamic model based on the language used in the meaning of the premise, the role of cognitive mechanisms and processes. \meaning of phenomena is necessary to identify the relationship between these meanings, while strengthening the degree of excitation or context and context adaptive two factors influence the selection of meanings. I will \For containing the \I believe that from the analysis, based on the language used in the dynamic model theory can explain the nature and Polysemy polysemy semantic extensions. Chapter IV further illustrate the present study for vocabulary teaching, teachers, students and textbook compilers provide inspiration. Conclusion stressed polysemy research should focus on the links between different meanings and polysemous network formation. As analyzed from a cognitive perspective polysemy Unlike traditional perspective polysemy in today's linguistics is an important issue. If the change of meaning or concept is based on the concepts and language linkages between symbols, polysemy of nowadays can be described as the relationship between these interlinkages between continuity.
