5 Examples of Kinds of Ambiguity Sentences in Indonesian

One of types of sentences there is an ambiguous sentence or what is also called a name ambiguous sentence. This sentence is a sentence that has a biased meaning or has more than one meaning. This sentence itself is divided into several kinds, where kinds of ambiguous sentences themselves include: sentence phonetic ambiguity, grammatical ambiguity sentence, and lexical ambiguity sentence.

Phonetic ambiguity sentences are ambiguous sentences whose meanings are biased because there are words that can be pronounced more than one pronunciation. For example: wordTofu that can be spoken with words Tofu and also know.

A grammatical ambiguity sentence is a sentence whose meaning is biased due to the grammatical (grammatical) process that occurs in the words/phrases/clauses in this sentence. Meanwhile, lexical ambiguity sentences are sentences whose meanings are biased due to the presence of a word whose meaning is biased or more than one. For example: word right which can mean women's shoes or something or basic need that must exist in humans.

To find out what the three ambiguous sentences look like, the three articles will show some examples of them. The examples are as follows!

A. Example Sentences of Phonetic Ambiguity

• This afternoon I gave him Tofu.
  • This sentence can mean I told him this afternoon (food) or I told him this afternoon (notification/information).
• That person looks like bear.
  • This sentence can mean that person looks like a bear (animal name), or that person looks like a bear (read with money or people who have a lot of money)
• We already plural.
  • This sentence can be read we are plural and mean we have a lot or can be read we are already and mean we have changed our prayers.

B. Example Sentences of Grammatical Ambiguity

• Buddy mom and dad go

Grammatically, the above clause can mean Budi, mom and dad go first, okay? or it could also mean Budi, father, and mother are away. The meaning depends on what sentence the clause is trying to form. If the sentence formed is Budi, mom and dad go first!, then the meaning of the clause is of course the first meaning previously mentioned. However, if the sentence formed is Budi, father and mother are leaving from home, then the second meaning (Budi, father and mother are leaving) is intended by the clause.

C. Example Sentences of Lexical Ambiguity

• White.
  • Today, Rani is wearing colorful clothes white. (white here means a color similar to the color of cotton)
  • Really, that woman's heart is very white once. (white here means holy, clean, or sincere)
