What's the difference between hodograph and homograph?
Hodograph
Definition:
(n.) A curve described by the moving extremity of a line the other end of which is fixed, this line being constantly parallel to the direction of motion of, and having its length constantly proportional to the velocity of, a point moving in any path; -used in investigations respecting central forces.
Example Sentences:
Homograph
Definition:
(n.) One of two or more words identical in orthography, but having different derivations and meanings; as, fair, n., a market, and fair, a., beautiful.
Example Sentences:
(1) These results are discussed within both an attentional and a connectionist account of homograph disambiguation.
(2) This patient was treated with an induction chemotherapy protocol of vinblastine sulfate, bleomycin, and cisplatin and has remained free of disease through June 1985, without loss of his renal homograph.
(3) When the primes were homophonic homographs, semantic relationship facilitated lexical decision of targets at all SOAs regardless of the dominance of the meaning to which the targets were related.
(4) In experiment 2, the disambiguating words had a significant effect on meaning interpretation of the homographs that was independent of visual field of presentation.
(5) These data can be accounted for by assuming multiple lexical entries for heterophonic homographs, single lexical entries for homophonic homographs, and phonological mediation of accessing meanings.
(6) Experiment 3 converged on context-sensitive activation following a 50-ms exposure of the sentence-final homograph.
(7) Homographs and ambiguous words were biased according to the prime toward their low or high imageable meanings and unilaterally presented in the visual field.
(8) An experiment using homographs verified the general conclusion from previous studies.
(9) Studies in which homographs were used to produce a change in meaning were reviewed with the conclusion that when appropriate controls are used the effects are too small to support meaning as a major factor underlying recognition.
(10) Disambiguation of heterophonic and homophonic homographs was investigated in Hebrew using semantic priming.
(11) Experiment 2 demonstrated that only the more able retarded subjects, but not the less able ones, used sentence context in a normal way in order to pronounce homographs.
(12) Lexical decision for targets related to the dominant phonological alternatives of heterophonic homographs were facilitated at all SOAs.
(13) Experiment 2 examined the effects of unrecognized, disambiguating flank words on verbal responses to a centrally presented homograph.
(14) Conclusions are (a) initial meaning activation can be sensitive to context, (b) when a homograph is instantiated, it is congruent with a broad scope of targets, and (c) less-salient targets receive less activation over the time course.
(15) Less-salient targets, although initially activated, were no longer activated 300 ms following the homograph.
(16) Since June 1979, the authors have had the opportunity to treat a renal homograph recipient who developed primary embryonal cell testicular carcinoma with retroperitoneal and pulmonary metastases.
