Accidental homonyms and their characteristics

Abstract

Homonymy was a category for history and was of great importance in the development of language. It was formed according to the nature of the language, went through a complex path of development over the centuries and occupied a special place in the language. In our language, in addition to lexical homonyms, there are also lexical units that are randomly homonymised - which in fact are not homonyms, undergo certain morphological changes and acquire other characteristics. Homonyms of this type can be divided into homograph, homophone, homoform and lexico-grammatical types. They are also called homonymous groups of words.

Unlike other languages, some homonyms in the Azerbaijani language are formed due to the transition of parts of speech. This process is a legal event. As a result of the attribution of nouns, adverbialization and substantivization of adjectives, a large number of lexical and grammatical homonyms appeared in our language. It was formed according to the nature of the language, went through a complex path of development over the centuries and occupied a special place in the language. In our language, in addition to lexical homonyms, there are also lexical units that are randomly homonymised - which in fact are not homonyms, undergo certain morphological changes and acquire other characteristics.
