Abstract

The authors compare and analyse various definitions of homonymy as well as different examples of homonymy cited in Croatian literature. They give their own criteria for the distinction between homonymy and polysemy. They offer possible solutions for lexicographers dealing with the problem of homonymy. All of these criteria are illustrated by numerous examples from the Croatian School Dictionary which is being compiled at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics.

Keywords
