give example (not from the course material ) discuss the difference between for Homonyms,Homophonesand Hyponyms
Homophones: The root phone means sound, as it does in telephone and phonics. So homophones are words that sound the same, such as doe a deer, a female deer, and dough that you bake into bread.
Homographs
The root -graph means write, just as it does in autograph and telegraph. So homographs are words that are written the samethat is, words that have the same spelling. For example, theres the verb tears, as in Squiggly tears the speeding ticket in two, and the noun tears, meaning the salty drops of water that ran down your cheek when you watched the movie Inside Out. Theyre homographs because theyre both spelled T-E-A-R-S.
Homonyms
. The onym root means name. You also hear it in anonymous, which literally means without a name, and of course, in the words synonym and antonym. Homonyms are words that have the same name; in other words, they sound the same and theyre spelled the same
Hope this helps
Hello Student,
The difference among Homonyms, Homophones and Hyponyms is as follows:
- Homonyms- word that both sounds and is spelled the same as another word, but both have different meanings. For example- address: to speak/location, bat: an implement used to hit a ball/a nocturnal flying animal.
- Homophones- word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in spelling or meaning or origin. For example- carat, caret, carrot and karat.
- Hyponyms- a more specific term; a subordinate grouping word or phrase. For example- Dog is a Hyponym of animal.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Have a good day!!
