Summary/Abstract: The discussion on word semantics and the process of setting the meaning, including homonymy, provides a number of arguments proving the complexity of the issue. The complexity leads to significant interpretative limitations in so-called homonymy of word formation. The dialectal lexis illustrated in the article seems to be a confirmation and proves the existence of polysemy in categorial word formation.
