- <p><span lang="EN-US">Polysemy, the phenomenon where a single word has multiple meanings, is fundamental to linguistic communication. The meaning of a polysemous word is largely determined by context, including syntactic structures, collocations, and discourse settings. This article explores how context influences the interpretation of polysemous words and discusses its implications in semantics, psycholinguistics, and language learning. Through examples from English and other languages, we illustrate the role of linguistic and extralinguistic context in meaning construction.</span></p>
