In logic, the lexicon is generally restricted so that each term has one meaning (unless an identity relation is used)

Since this restriction (one term = one meaning) is so utterly artificial & totally out-of-sync with the real world what is the study/approach/science that deals with the fact that many/most terms have multiple meanings?
