Abstract
The current study is interested in the contrastive linguistic analysis of homonymy in English and Arabic. The
study aims to investigate this relation in two selected novels (i.e. “Lord of Flies” and "Palace of Desire [Qasir al
Shawq]). The primary purpose of this study is to reveal the similarities and differences of homonymy in English
and Arabic. It determines the highest and lowest percentage of this term and its types in the concerned novels
