The scientific and technical vocabulary is characterized by linguists as objective, clear and without ambiguity. That means the use of words with only one meaning that can be easily understood and recognized by the scientists or people working in a certain technical field. We try to emphasize the existence of homonymy within English marine engineering terminology and the extension of it as a non-characteristic of the marine engineering terminology.
