👉 In linguistics, a homophone is a word or phrase that has two meanings. A homophone can be defined as words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings and are used interchangeably. For example, "fish" and "fisherman" are examples of homophones because they both have the sound of "f", but their meanings differ: "fish" is a noun meaning fish, while "fisherman" is a verb meaning to be a fisherman.
