A string with exactly one interpretation is unambiguous, one with no interpretation is anomalous, and one with multiple interpretations is ambiguous.5 It is concluded that ambiguity is one of those kinds of sense relations that have more than one meaning. There is more than one meaning, can mean: (1) John went to the edge of the river yesterday. 2) John went to the place to save or take his money.
