Under the theoretical assumption that lexical ambiguity is not a homogeneous phenomenon, but rather that it is subdivided into two distinct types, namely homonymy and polysemy, the present study investigated whether these different types of lexical ambiguity are psychologically real. Four types of ambiguous words, homonymous words (e.g., pen), polysemous words with metaphorical extensions (e.g., eye), polysemous words with a count/mass metonymic extension (e.g., turkey), and polysemous words with a producer/product metonymic extension (e.g., Dali). were used in a cross-modal sentence-priming lexical decision task. Overall, the theoretical distinction between homonymy and polysemy was reflected in the results of the present study, which revealed differential processing depending on the type of ambiguity.
