Annotation

It is important to distinguish between formal and non formal types of ambiguity. Syntactic and semantic ambiguity are both formal in that the specific ambiguity of a given sentence is here determined solely by the sentence itself. Sentences may also possess ambiguity of a pragmatic kind. Such sentences are called context-dependent. This is a pragmatic form of ambiguity in that it stems from a multiplicity of admissable modes of passage from the sentence to its meaning. The choice of any one such mode depends upon the context. Context-dependence is not a formal type of ambiguity.
