Abstract
This article addresses homonyms in the English language and how different scientists classify them. Many well-known foreign linguists, like Arakin, I. N. Kabanov, Arnold, Lyons and others, attempted to define homonymy and classify homonyms in the English language. English homonyms have separate grammatical forms but may have the same sound or spelling.References
