Abstract / Summary: Nine typed pages contain analyses of the way the terms 'homonym,' and 'homophone' are defined in various dictionaries and encyclopedias current at the time, with quoted examples. Malinowski considers how detailed the definition is and whether it explores related words and alternate meanings. The document is lightly annotated in purple, green and brown pencil.
