也谈歧义定义

通过对歧义定义的历史反思，认为应该将歧义与多义、修辞中的故意“设歧”、误解、曲解相区分；明确歧义的发生环境是语境；主体是说写者，是其无意所致；产生的物质材料是多义语言形式；滋生机制是语境对物质材料多义性的不能消解。歧义是在具体语境中，说写者用不违反语法规则和逻辑规则的形式（包括多义词、多义短语、多义句子）无意中表达出两种或两种以上意思的现象。

Discussion on the definition of ambiguity

Through historic reflection of the definition of ambiguity, this paper thinks that we should distinguish ambiguity from polysemy, purposely creating ambiguity in rhetoric, misunderstanding or misinterpretation. It is made clear that the environment in which ambiguity occurs is context, that the subject is speaker or writer and ambiguity is caused unintentionally, that the material is polysemy language form and that the mechanism by which ambiguity occurs is that polyscmy of language can not be dispelled in context. Ambiguity can be defined as the phenomenon in which speaker or writer unintentionally expresses two or more meanings without violation of grammatical rules and logic rules in the specific context.
