Abstract

This thesis analyzes the linguistic features of the phenomenon of polyfunctionality and polysemy the opinions expressed by linguists to it. It is known that the feature of polyfunctionality of language units has been known to linguists since the beginning. But in different linguistic paradigms, the linguistic approach to this phenomenon is different. In traditional linguistics, the important role of polyfunctionalism in linguistic units has always been recognized. In the system-structuralist direction, however, the ambiguity of the word is ignored as an irritating condition. Because of this, the always present polyfunctionalism in the language has produced ambiguous opinions among linguists. The thesis focused on the analysis of these diverse theories.
