Burglar shoots man with rifle

Missing child discovered dead with remote sensor

Ted always beats Rosemary

Solutions

Expert Solution

The instance of lexical ambiguity would be the statement 'Ted always beats Rosemary' here the confusion could arise from the plant and that of a name of an actual person, which makes it confusing.

Structural ambiguity would be the second statement, which is 'Missing child discovered dead with remote sensor' which is also labeled as Syntactic ambiguity.

It could mean many things, that maybe the baby discovered someone dead, or the baby was discovered dead, or the baby discovered someone dead in a remote place with a sensor? There are many things that the sentence could possibly insinuate.

'Burglar shoots man with Rifle' is an instance of morphological ambiguity, due to its structure and the fact that it insinuates a lot of other things, such as, it could mean that the burglar shot the man who possessed a rifle, or that the burglar shot at the man with a rifle that the burglar had.

It could Mena sundry things.
