This study analyses a corpus consisting of two parliamentary debates in English and Catalan with respect to ambiguity, vagueness and generality in connection to referential cohesion. Three variables are qualitatively and quantitatively analysed: a) the abstractness of the topics, b) the non...

It is concluded that generality, vagueness, and fuzziness are under-determined, and ambiguity is over-determined. Fuzziness differs from generality, vagueness, and ambiguity in that it is not simply a result of a one-to-many relationship between a general meaning and its specifications; nor a ...
The first chapter explores the concept of ambiguity, differentiating it from vagueness and generality. It discusses how ambiguity functions on different levels of linguistics and provides examples of syntactic, grammatical, and lexical ambiguity. The chapter concludes with a discussion of tests used to ...

Ambiguity results form polysemy and homonymy, where the same form has different meanings and hence 32、can be understood in two (or more) ways. Vagueness is caused by the high generality of the word meaning which lacks a specific degree, scope, or referential meaning. The stylistic Value of...
We think that the crucial point to distinguish ambiguity from related phenomena like vagueness or sense generality lies in considering combinatorial, denotational and inferential properties of ambiguity separately. Whereas the latter two are closely related, the combinatorial properties are rather distinct. ...
