Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes a new approach to the phenomenon of homonymy. The typology of homonymy was prepared from a pragmatic point of view. This is a typology related to all types of communicative acts. As a result of taking this approach, four main types of language homonymy were identified: sociolectal homonymy, discourse homonymy, ethnolinguistic homonymy and idiostylistic homonymy. The first three types were divided into more detailed categories, which resulted in dividing homonymy into: intrasociolectal and intersociolectal homonymy, intradiscourse and interdiscourse homonymy as well as intralanguage and interlanguage homonymy. Idiostylistic homonymy is an extraordinary type of homonymy and it is not divided in this way.
