Preferred term

Principle of Sozonymy  

Definition

  • Among two or more synonyms or homonyms, whenever one qualifies as sozonym or sozodiaphonym, it must be given precedence for validity (if not invalid for another reason) over its synonym(s) or homonym(s) that would have precedence over it according to the usual criteria of Priority, Airesy or Proedry; however these usual criteria apply among sozodiaphonyms. The same Principle applies to two or more spellings, the sozograph being the correct spelling. (Dubois 2011a, Dubois 2013)
