Abstract: The aims of this research are to find out types of polysemy (one of lexical relations) based on the explanation in the book Meaning in Language by Allan Cruse (2000) and to explain polysemous words that are recognized as business terms. Research design for this research is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected from the articles in the business section of The Economist, and analyzed using the componential analysis method. Data analysis process began by identifying the polysemous words using semantic features that refer to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary and Oxford Dictionary of Business and Management, then the results are presented in form of explanatory sentences and tables. The findings show that there are two types of polysemy found in The Economist, linear polysemy and non-linear polysemy; and there are only a few business terms that are categorized as polysemous words. Finally, it can be concluded that polysemy can be found in the written communication media, as in The Economist magazine, and the polysemous words found in the magazine are mostly common English words. Keywords: polysemy; componential analysis; The EconomistAbstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mencari tahu tipe-tipe polisemi berdasarkan penjelasan pada buku Meaning in Language oleh Allan Cruse (2000) dan menjabarkan kata-kata polisemi yang diketahui sebagai istilah bisnis.
