From the point of view of the speaker ignorant of origins, the embarrassment and confusion which is caused by multiplicity of meanings is likely to be as great when a form represents two or more etymologically distinct words as when it represents one. Most students of homonyms and most semanticists pay little attention to this fact, but Jespersen pertinently remarks that 'the psychological effect of those cases of polysemy, where "one and the same word" has many meanings, is exactly the same as that of cases where two or three words of different origin have accidentally become homophones'. Because of this relationship, the conflict of homonyms should not be considered a merely curious and abnormal phenomenon, differing from other linguistic processes. The study of homonymic interference involves the whole problem of the word as an entity and illustrates some fundamental principles of semantics.
