Abstract

Polysemy, the phenomenon whereby a linguistic unit exhibits multiple distinct yet related meanings, has always been a topic of great interest for both lexical semanticists and lexicographers.  To understand the language we need to know the meaning of words and we also must know the meaning of words combine into phrase and sentence meaning, we must consider  context when determining meaning. In presented paper we are discussing the semantic structure  of the word and polysemy in English maritime vocabulary.
