"Homonym"

One of two or more words that are spelled the same and pronounced the same but have different meanings. Most commonly, the words have different origins and developed separately but coincidentally ended up with the same pronunciation. An example is "jerky," which can refer to something that moves abruptly or to a type of dried meat. Although the definition just given appears to be the most common, sometimes "homonym" is applied to homophones (homófonos in Spanish), two or more words that sound alike, even if they aren't spelled differently, and/or homographs (homógrafos), two or more words that are written alike, although they may not have the same pronunciation.

English Homophones

English (especially British English) is not spelt phonetically. Two words can share none, any or all of Spelling, Pronunciation and Meaning. All languages have synonyms (words with unrelated spelling and pronunciation but the same meaning) and words with multiple meanings. However English has an exceptional disparity between spelling and pronunciation.

Homophone

is a word which is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning, for example: carat, caret, and carrot Homophones may be spelled differently, but the term also applies to different words that sound the same and are also spelled identically, such as "rose" (flower) and "rose" (past tense of "rise"). However the more precise term for the latter class of words is homonym. The term may also be used to apply to units shorter than words, such as letters or group of letters which are pronounced the same as another letter or group of letters.

English Homophones

This is a list of English homophones (words with different spellings and meanings but the same pronunciation) in the word list created by Roger Mitton from the Advanced Learners' Dictionary of Current English. Mitton added a large number of proper names to the word stock of the dictionary, and encoded the pronunciations following the scheme suggested by John Wells for the Alvey project. All I have done here is re-index the dictionary according to pronunciation and identify any adjacent identical pairs. The program to do this was written in Microsoft Basic 7.1, using ISAM calls.

The Oxford Word Challenge

An old joke tells of someone asking the assistant at a paper shop: 'Do you keep stationery?' and she replies: 'No, I wriggle about a bit.' She clearly thought he meant the word that is spelt 'stationary'. There are many pairs of words like this, which sound the same but are spelt differently. They are called homophones or sometimes homonyms.

American Homophones

This is a list of homophones in "General American English". It is based on the book Handbook of Homophones by William Cameron Townsend, 1975. For the purpose at hand, the list contains words that sound the same (or very nearly the same) but are spelled differently. Thus the list includes "bear" and "bare" but not "bear" (noun) and "bear" (verb). However, the list does occasionally include spelling variants of the same word when there is another word in the same entry; for instance, "ax, axe, acts" is in the list but not "blessed, blest".(Note that the only difference between "homophones" and "spelling variant" is whether or not the words are lexically "the same".)
