    The document discusses three linguistic concepts: homonyms, homophones, and homographs. For homonyms, it provides examples of words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings depending on context, such as "air" and "arm." For homophones, it lists word pairs that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings, like "brake" and "break." Finally, it defines homographs as words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings, providing examples such as "bass" referring to a type of fish or low voice. The document seeks to explain these three similar yet distinct concepts relating to words with multiple meanings or sounds.
