examples of univocal terms?
The classification of terms as univocal, equivocal, or analogous is based on how the terms' meanings are understood or comprehended in different contexts. Univocal terms have a single, precise meaning across all contexts, equivocal terms have completely different meanings in different contexts, and analogous terms have related but slightly different meanings in different contexts. This classification helps clarify how terms are used and understood in various discussions or arguments.

A univocal term or phrase is one which has only one possible meaning. this is often a subjective assessment, but (for instance) words like "male", "automobile", "neutron star", or instructions like "place your left elbow on your right knee" are considered to be univocal because they are difficult to interpret incorrectly.
In the first place, it is not, as we Scotists know, it is univocal :-).
First, a term is a word (verbal expression) that represents a mental concept. Logicians say that all terms are either univocal, expressing one clear concept, equivocal, expressing different concepts although they look the same, or analogous, expressing different but related meanings. These three categories label the signification of the term. Five examples of univocal terms would be: 1. Phillips head screwdriver 2. The Ptolemaic Model of the Cosmos 3. President George Washington of the United States 4. Decaffinated coffee 5. Astronaut Notice that univocal terms often come from precise fields like math and science. Five analogous terms would be: 1. Chair (furniture or university department head who "chairs" his section) 2. Bread (baked grain and yeast or the money we need to buy it) 3. Lift (action of picking up or the elevator that lifts us) 4. Wheels (the round tires or the whole car) 5. Computer (the machine or a person who works figures) Five equivocal terms: 1. Pitcher (baseball thrower or liquid container) 2. Bit (piece of food or metal in horse's mouth) 3. Top (upper part or spinning toy) 4. mail (chain armor or postal letters) 5. ring (jewelery or a phone noise) Many equivocal terms may have started as analogies, but the connect is now forgotten.
