Слайд 6In general, there are logically possible 9 types of homonymous classes:

and bank (n) «банк»)
● Phonetics - graphic purely grammatical (milk (n) «молоко» and milk (v) «доить»)
● Lexical and gramophone homophones (bear (n) «медведь» and bare (a) «обнаженный»)
● Homophones are purely grammatical (practice (n) «практика» and practice (v) «практиковаться»)
Слайд 7● Homophones purely lexical (fair (n) «ярмарка» and fare (n) «плата
за проезд»)
● Lexico-grammatical homographs (tear (n) [t I ə] «слеза» and tear (v) [t ɛ ə] «рвать»)

Слайд 10Homonymous construction
She called him a taxi – She called him a
genius.
They are reading – They are interesting.
He made him a hero – He made him a sandwich
Слайд 11The main ways of the origin of homonyms
The conditions for the
existence of any language are such that it constantly undergoes various phonetic changes. These changes do not depend on anyone and nobody can be directed to the right channels.
In this case, new meanings can arise on the basis of the same source, for example, the meaning of a word hand – «лапа», «сторона», «власть», «работник», «умение», «почерк», «стрелка» etc., that goes back to the same true value «рука», and can develop one by one.
The taken form may turn out to be new, not similar to any of the ones already available, but may coincidentally coincide with some word of the language (for example, the coincidence of the word reciprocated from the French word in the 17th century ball «бал», with the already existing word ball «мяч» of Scandinavian origin).
