Multiple-Meanings or Polysemy

meanings. For example, if a man
were to shoot his grandmother at a
range of five hundred yards, I
should call him a good shot, but
not necessarily a good man.”
G. K. Chesterton

• Half of these can be generated by
combining 20 verbs & 8 prepositions

many “variant meaning senses”
