One main cause of common errors in translation tasks is the sense selection of words. Languages often contain lexical ambiguity because many words with the same pronunciation and spelling can have different meanings (Bedny et al., 2007). Frost & Bentin (1992, p. 192) and Frost et al. (1990, p. 85) asserted that “ambiguity can exist in the relationships between the orthographic and phonological forms of a word, or between the phonological form and its semantic representation.” The English language is complicated by the fact that one word can carry more than one meaning and various meanings can be associated with a word. This can be clearly illustrated by homonyms and homographs.
