DESCRIPTION:In recent times\, the introduction of experimental techniques
  to study language has revolutionized the field of Linguistics. Psycholi
 nguistics is the discipline that studies the psychological processes tha
 t underlie language\, by designing and conducting experiments that gathe
 r data on how speakers deal with language. Which data can be provided to
  the study of words and their meanings by experimental tasks?\nThe theor
 etical definition of lexical ambiguity\, as well as the characterization
  of its two subtypes (homonymy and polysemy)\, is quite clear. However\,
  from an empirical perspective there are still some questions without an
 swers: how are different meanings of ambiguous words stored? How do mult
 iple meanings affect on the recognition of lexical units and on how they
  are understood? How is one of multiple meanings selected? Are all the m
 eanings activated or is the inadequate meaning somehow inhibited? \nThis
  experimental study\, a part of my on-going thesis\, contribute relevant
  data about the behaviour of ambiguous words in Spanish\, by means of th
 ree different tasks: lexical decision tasks\, self-administrated reading
  tasks monitored with an eye-tracker and questionnaires. The results of 
 all these experiments robustly point to a differential behaviour of homo
 nym and polysemy. These results seem to be task-dependant\, since the ef
 fect of polysemy and homonymy may be positive or negative depending on w
 hether there is a context or not. Furthermore\, the analysis of the ques
 tionnaire places value on the subjective interpretation on ambiguity. \n
