Artificial homonymy

Abstract

The paper presents a discussion about homonymy of Czech nouns with different or varying genders. The lemmas with this type of homonymy are treated in the new release of the dictionary MorfFlex as separated.

We show that the separation of paradigms according to the gender is not only superfluous, but also clumsy, because it forces to make a choice when it is not necessary. That's why we call this type of homonymy "artificial".
