Abstract

This study investigates the use of English Homonyms in fashion terms from Vogue Magazines. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method to describe the data and each word’s components by analyzing articles in Vogue magazines, which have 11 articles from April 2025. Writers used homonyms and meaning component theory by Saeed to find the types of homonyms in the articles of Vogue Magazines and the meaning components contained in fashion terms. A total of homonymous words was identified with different meanings in fashion terms compared to general usage. Homonyms cause ambiguity in several cases without context; the research helps to understand more about words used in fashion terms able to have different meanings. The results show that two types of homonyms were found in the articles, with homographs as the type mostly found.
