Abstract
The study of polysemantics focuses on the way in which the meaning of a word can change in accordance with the concept being conveyed. In this way, one word can convey several concepts and have multiple corresponding meanings. However, hidden within the various meanings that a word maintains is a key concept that binds the semantic variations and expansions. In this paper I focused on the meanings of "get away with..." as it is used in English language movies by analyzing it in terms of polysemantic structure and cognitive mechanisms. As a result I have found five different meanings relating to "permission", "successful results", "eluding", "isolation", and "denial". Each meaning is derived from a given situation and concept different from the other. Finally, I identify implications for the use of these findings in English Language Education.
