We show that the most widely represented polysemy types are nested polysemy, polysemy by metaphor and polysemy by metonymy. The second part proposes an extended spectrum of sense remoteness and presents insights on different types of polysemy included in this spectrum with a special attention paid to nested polysemy. }, doi = {10.4467/23005920SPL.22.002.15759}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studies-in-polish-linguistics/article/the-spectrum-of-sense-remoteness-in-polysemy-bridging-computational-and-theoretical-lexicography-with-psycholinguistics-part-1} }
