It refers to the case when a language expresses different meanings using the same word.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsDefinition[edit]Examples of colexification[edit]Use in linguistic studies[edit]See also[edit]Bibliography[edit]External links[edit]Definition[edit]Colexification describes the case when different meanings can be expressed by the same word (i.e., \u201cco-lexified\u201d) in a language. For example, the two senses which are distinguished in English as people and village are colexified in Spanish, which uses pueblo in both cases.Colexification is meant as a neutral, descriptive term that avoids distinguishing between vagueness, polysemy, and homonymy. Some cases of colexification are common across the world (e.g. \u2018blue\u2019 = \u2018green\u2019); others are typical of certain linguistic and cultural areas (e.g. \u2018tree\u2019 = \u2018fire\u2019 among Papuan and Australian languages).[1]The opposite of \u201cco-lexify\u201d is \u201cdis-lexify\u201d, i.e. ‘express two meanings using different lexical forms’.[2] Thus, while Russian colexifies ‘arm’ and ‘hand’ using the single word \u0440\u0443\u043a\u0430, Spanish dislexifies these two meanings using two distinct words, respectively brazo v. mano.

This article illustrated the notion with various examples, including the semantic domains of {\u00a0STRAIGHT\u00a0}, {\u00a0CALL\u00a0}, {\u00a0BREATHE\u00a0}. The latter notion is at the source of a colexification network that is attested in several languages, linking together such senses as \u2018breath\u2019, \u2018life\u2019, \u2018soul\u2019, \u2018spirit\u2019, \u2018ghost\u2019…: Skr. \u0906\u0924\u094d\u092e\u0928\u094d \u0101tm\u00e1n; Anc.
