This distinction is often taken for granted, but is seldom operationalized in the shape of an empirical model. We present a first step towards such a model, based on WordNet augmented with ontological classes provided by CoreLex. This model provides a polysemy index for each noun which (a), accurately distinguishes between polysemy and homonymy; (b), supports the analysis that polysemy can be grounded in the frequency of the meaning shifts shown by nouns; and (c), improves a regression model that predicts when the öne-sense-per-discourse" hypothesis fails.
