Distinguishing between homophones in everyday speech


While trying to figure out the polite imperative form of 呼ぶ I figured the
correct conjugation to be 呼んで下さい。I found instead that, colloquially, the
imperative is 呼び出して下さい。 Am I correct in assuming that this is to distinguish
between, 読んで and 呼んで in everyday speech?




No. As 読んで and 呼んで have different accents in both standard Japanese and Kansai
dialect.

呼ぶ and 呼び出す are...

  * 呼ぶ: call someone.
  * 呼び出す: call someone and ask him to come somewhere.

They are similar, sometimes same.
