heteronymy (n.)
A term sometimes used in SEMANTIC analysis to refer to words (LEXEMES) which display partial HOMONYMY, i.e. they differ in MEANING, but are identical in FORM in one MEDIUM only (viz. speech or writing). Examples of heteronyms would be the HOMOGRAPHS row (sc. a boat) and row (sc. noise), or the HOMOPHONES threw and through.
