What is "homophony"?

Homophony is a linguistic phenomenon where two or more words sound the same but have different meanings and often different spellings. For example, the words "pair," "pear," and "pare" are homophones because they are pronounced the same way but refer to different concepts. Homophony can lead to confusion in spoken language, as context is necessary to understand which word is being used. This phenomenon is important in linguistics and language studies, as it highlights the richness of language and the potential for playful or creative use of words in communication.
