Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Homophone word games are games that use pairs or sets of homophones to create humorous and clever Word play plays on words .

Homophones game Homophones is a word game in which a player creates a sentence or phrase containing a pair or larger set of homophone s, substitutes the homophone pair with another usually nonsensical pair of words, then reads the newly created sentence out loud. The object of the game is for the other players to deduce what the original homophone pair is. The first person to correctly identify the secret homophones wins for that sentence and creates a new homophone puzzle. Like the word game Ghost game Ghost , this game is often played on long car rides with multiple people.

The player then chooses a word to substitute for both homophones in the homophone pair. Let us say that he chooses the word chicken .

In classical Chinese language Chinese philology, shengxun voice explanation or yinxun sound explanation is the practice of explaining a Chinese character character by using a homophone or near homophone. The practice is ancient, and can be seen in Pre Qin Dynasty Qin texts. Xu Shen, author of the monumental Shuowen Jiezi , employed shengxun . For example, when Xu explained the word ghost , he wrote blockquote big big A ghost is where the state that human beings return to blockquote to return to pinyin gu and ghost pinyin gu are homophones. A similar explanation of the word can be found in the earlier Erya . The ancient Chinese dictionary Shiming is noted for using shengxun for most of its definitions. Shengxun can be highly fanciful, and often results in folk etymology . However, the practice points to the idea of cognate characters or what Bernhard Karlgren called word families .
