Article Title：What song and dance, cutting and flying, and coming from the north at the same time? Flamenco: a complex problem of homonymy/polysemy

Abstract：
According to the Diccionario critico etimologico castellano e hispanico, by Corominas & Pascual (1980: 906), the etymology of flamenco in its meanings of flamingo and 11 music and dance of Gypsy Andalusia is Flemish, native of Flanders because of the supposed resemblance to the latter's ruddy and reddish complexion. However, a number of linguistic, historical, anthropological and musicological arguments persuade us to reject such explanation and propose an alternative one instead, based on the opposition homonymy/polysemy and on the meaning of the phrase 'flemish knife' in Andalusian Spanish.

Keywords:  flamenco; etymology; homonymy; polysemy; metaphor; metonymy
