In sentiment analysis, polypathy is the spread of the polarity of the senses of a given word. Polypathy is related to polysemy in that a highly polysemous word (a word that has many distinct senses) has a higher chance of being highly polypathic.

The idea of polypathy has been introduced by Basile and Nissim, who also give one possible way to compute the polypathy of a word as the standard deviation of the polarity scores manually assigned to each of its senses.
