Words like bow that means bending the head as a greeting and bow that means the device used as shooting arrows are called _____.
A、synonyms
B、homographs
C、homophones
D、antonyms
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:由题干得知该题讨论的事情与语义关系中的homonymy 有关,这里谈到bow 这个词的两个完全不同的意思,它们的发音也是不一样的。homonyms 有三种形式:perfect homonyms, homographs 和homophones. 这两个词显然不是同义词也不是反义词,所以A和D不是答案,它们只是拼写相同,发音不同,所以B是答案。
