The phenomenon of homonymy is an inescapable topic of human language and has long been taken seriously by lexicographers and semanticists.Its study in the Slavic world began in the 15-17th century Unlike modern times,medieval scholars focused on the distinction of homonymous pairs,proposed the principle of antiverse in orthography,conducted a long debate on several themes,such as composition,objects,positions and etc.,finally formed the system of canonical orthography of the Church Slavonic based on Smotritsky's grammar.However,with the formation of the new Great Russian national language,only partial vestiges of this principle remained in Russian,which continued the literature language tradition.
