DESCRIPTION:<p><em>Abstract</em>:&nbsp\;In philosophical debates\, theorists often make a case for the polysemy of a particular philosophically interesting term &lsquo\;x&rsquo\;\, arguing that &lsquo\;x&rsquo\; has multiple distinct but related senses\, and then proceed to draw metaphysical implications with respect to the domain of x. Call this &lsquo\;the polysemy approach&rsquo\;. Such an approach can be found in contemporary debates about know-how\, pain\, causation\, explanation\, part-whole relations\, and many others. In this talk\, I take a closer look at the polysemy approach. The goal here is two-fold. The first is a descriptive one &ndash\; the talk ties together different philosophical contributions from various areas into a single framework and provides a clear articulation of the polysemy approach. The second is a programmatic one &ndash\; it aims to shed light on how to deploy the approach. To that end\, I draw on recent philosophical\, linguistic and psycholinguistic literature on polysemy.&nbsp\;</p>
