What's the difference between homograph and homography?

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.

Homography


Definition:

  • (n.) That method of spelling in which every sound is represented by a single character, which indicates that sound and no other.
  • (n.) A relation between two figures, such that to any point of the one corresponds one and but one point in the other, and vise versa. Thus, a tangent line rolling on a circle cuts two fixed tangents of the circle in two sets of points that are homographic.
