2018年8月10日 · However, the statement that semantic ambiguity must always be due to syntactic ambiguity is certainly untrue: The two different readings of "He's mad" that TKR provides in their comment are due to the semantic ambiguity of the lexical item "mad" - this is called lexical ambiguity - while the syntactic structure is completely identical.

2021年6月14日 · I was reading this question Syntactic and semantic ambiguity, and there is a comment from @jlawler on how the sentence "He's mad" have different syntactic affordances: Original comment: "He's mad" can mean "He's angry" or "He's crazy", but the syntax is the same. Jlawler's reply: Though the two senses have different syntactic affordances.

2018年1月16日 · Semantic ambiguity: When meaning of words can get ambiguous, then that type of ambiguity is semantic ambiguity. X loves her mother and Y loves too The car hit the pole while it was moving Anaphoric ambiguity: Anaphoras are entities that are previously introduced into the discourse. Horse is running up the hill.

2020年5月7日 · If you don't want to reach the conclusion that all languages have some ambiguity, then you have to somehow redefine ambiguity. If I were in the business of redefining concepts, I would focus on the difference between ambiguity in scope, versus granularity of the conceptual sieve (sub-dividing "past" into "immediate past" vs "intermediate past ...

2014年8月21日 · The negation seems also to play an important rôle in the ambiguity, which is not accounted for in your suggested syntax. The syntactic (structural?) ambiguity you suggest could apply as well to any coordinated structure, but there is no semantic ambiguity in most cases, I think: " He does not eat when she comes. ", or even " Arthur disciplines ...

2022年11月10日 · One possible syntactic structure (PP inside NP) is not semantically ambiguous, but the other (PP outside NP) is, so listing both semantic options to me precludes it being about the syntax. But then of course the fact that the semantic ambiguity isn’t resolved by the question equally precludes it being about the semantic ambiguity. Perhaps it ...

2022年11月22日 · It is accounted for in any formal framework that notices the ambiguity. That's all the "accounting" a formal framework can do. No explanation in formal frameworks; just representation. Most of the time, predicate adjectives are not distinguished from verbs or predicate nouns, since they're all predicates.

There are many POS taggers, parsers, semantic analyzers, etc. that deal with ambiguous data. In most of those cases, the algorithms are built to add up the weightages of the various components, and then provide only the 'best' solution; because for most purposes, providing 10 solutions rather than just one makes the tool useless.

2013年4月9日 · Phonological ambiguity is often the result of phonological change. Feet and feat are homonyms in Modern English, but they were pronounced differently in Middle English. The Great Vowel Shift merged both ME long /æ:/ and long /e:/ …

2019年6月8日 · Is there exist a language (the natural or the constructed one) with a completely standardized and ambiguity-free rules, and which is suitable for the modern use? I am wondering for a language which should be strict, logical, and ambiguity-free as the programming one. By the word "rules" I mean grammar, word order, punctuation, and so on.
