This paper investigates the syntactic type of ambiguity. It provides
background information concerning various principles related to
ambiguity on the syntactic level. This study also aims to shed light
on the possible cases where Arab learners of
English lack the ability
to comprehend certain syntactically ambiguous constructions. It also
discusses each kind of syntactic ambiguity according to the
syntactic form it takes. In addition, this paper explores the several
sources of syntactic ambiguity.
Recently, many studies have been conducted to disambiguate
ambiguous constructions. This paper provides some theoretical
issues that many linguists have posed in order to tackle the
phenomenon of ambiguity in syntax.
