• Resumen

  • The paper deals with the phenomenon of meaning superposition, i.e. simultaneous realization of two or more meanings of a polysemous word. Subtypes of meaning superposition are distinguished; the notions of ambiguity, vagueness, syncretism and meaning conjunction are defined. A classification of possible semantic effects of meaning superposition of the ambiguity type is proposed, based on two independent binary features: the zeugma (pun) effect and the semantic interaction between the superposed meanings.
