| Summary: | In this study, the process of becoming homonym due to the expansion of meaning
within the historical journey of polysemy, which are actually very meaningful and
based on the same origin, in the Turkish Dictionary of the Türk Dil Kurumu, was
examined. Homonym; it is defined as words whose phone and spelling are the
same and their meanings are different. In polysemy words involve more than one
meaning. While there is a single origin in polysemy words, there are more than
one but related meanings, in homonyms, there are at least two different origins and
different meanings from each other. Tagged with the general scanning model in the
Turkish Dictionary, acımak, ağıl, ağız, ağmak, altıparmak, basılmak, biçim, bir
bir, bitmek, boy, bozuk, çakmak, çil, çöğür, dayak, dikilmek, dikmek, dil, dokunma,
dokunmak, dokunuş, el, gen, güç, günlük, öz, sağ, sormak, ters, terslemek, uçuk,
uğur, uz, yaş, yaşlı, yazı, yazmak, yordurmak, yormak, yorulmak have turned
into polysemy from homonym. In the spelling of homonyms in the dictionary, to
two separate lexical entry and (I) (II) (III) Roman numerals form besides
homonyms is preferred. Expanded meanings of polysemys are shown with the
numbers 1, 2, and 3 at the beginning of generally prioritizing the basic meaning.
Based on the etymology and historical dictionaries of the determined 40 words, it
has been determined that the dictionary units of the polysemy words with the
same origin are decomposed through the expansion and change of meaning over
time and become polysemy.
