Ambiguity Definition
Oke reader pengertian yang secara
umum dari ambiguiti itu adalah suatu bentuk
konstruksi yang ditafsirkan memiliki makna lebih dari satu. Oleh karena itu,
kalimat ambigu adalah kalimat yang memilliki makna ganda.
Contohnya:
- · Kata tahu bisa bermakna ganda,seperti memnyampaikan sesuatu kepada orang lain,atau kata tahu itu juga bisa bermakna tahu yang terbuat dari kacang kedelai.
- Gigit jari
Ani hanya bisa gigit jari melihat barang yang
diinginkan tak bisa didapat.
Ani menggigit jarinya hingga berdarah.
Kata gigit jari di atas memiliki dua makna yaitu putus asa atau benar-benar menggigit jarinya.

So, we know that the ambiguity is is a word, phrase, or statement which contains more than one meaning.
Similarly, same words with different meanings can
cause ambiguity e.g. “John took off his trousers by the bank.” It is funny if
we confuse one meaning of “bank” which is a building, to another meaning, being
“an edge of a river”. Context usually resolves any ambiguity in such cases.
Examples Of Ambiguity
Below are some common examples of ambiguity:
- A good life depends on a liver – Liver may be an organ or simply a living person.
- Foreigners are hunting dogs – It is unclear whether dogs were being hunted or foreigners are being spoken of as dogs.
- Each of us saw her duck – It is not clear whether the word “duck” refers to an action of ducking or a duck that is a bird.
- The passerby helps dog bite victim – Is the passerby helping a dog bite someone? Or is he helping a person bitten by a dog? It’s not clear.
