Abstract:
This work presents a perceptual study on how acoustic details and knowledge of the lexicon influence discrimination decisions. English-speaking listeners were less likely to identify phonologically matching items as the same when they differed in vowel duration, but differences in mean F0 did not have an effect. Although both are components of English contrasts, the results only provide evidence for attention to vowel duration as a potentially contrastive cue. Lexical ambiguity was a predictor of response time. Pairs with matching duration were identified more quickly than pairs with distinct duration, but only among lexically ambiguous items, indicating that lexical ambiguity mediates attention to acoustic detail. Lexical ambiguity also interacted with neighborhood density: Among lexically unambiguous words, the proportion of 'same' responses decreased with neighborhood density, but there was no effect among lexically ambiguous words. This interaction suggests that evaluating phonological similarity depends more on lexical information when the items are lexically unambiguous.

Abstract:
English Language ambiguity has always been one of the major concerns of psycholinguistic research. A number of studies have been carried out to investigate different types of ambiguity resolution, including phonological ambiguity resolution, lexical ambiguity resolution, syntactic ambiguity resolution and pragmatic ambiguity resolution. Studies of lexical ambiguity resolution have found that lexically ambiguous words with two meanings of the same frequency took longer to read than lexically unambiguous words, suggesting that different meanings of ambiguous words compete for integration to the local context. This paper gives an overview of the classical psycholinguistic studies on English lexical ambiguity resolution which employed the eye-tracking technology.

Abstract:
Summary We examine various issues faced during the elaboration of lexical disambiguators, e.g. issues related with linguistic analyses underlying disambiguators, and we exemplify these issues with grammatical constraints. We also examine computational problems and show how they are connected with linguistic problems: the influence of the granularity of tagsets, the definition of realistic and useful objectives, and the construction of the data required for the reduction of ambiguity. We show why a formalism is required for automatic ambiguity reduction, we analyse its function and we present a typology of such formalisms.

Abstract:
Ambiguity occurs when a sentence has more than one meaning. Ambiguity can be caused by the ambiguous lexicon in which one word has more than one meaning and it can also be caused because of the way the sentence is structure (syntactic). The context also determines whether the sentence can be interpreted differently and become ambiguous. Ambiguity often causes confusion, and has become one of the phenomena in language studies, especially semantics. This study investigates ambiguity in creating humors. The data were taken from electronic sources in forms of newspaper headlines, jokes, riddles and anecdotes. The number of the data collection includes 25 cases of ambiguity. 12 sentences were lexically ambiguous, while the other 13 sentences were syntactically ambiguous. The results showed that lexical ambiguity and syntactic ambiguity were the language devices used to create puns in humor. The results also suggested that the ambiguity could be an effective source of humor when it particularly involves dual interpretations in which one interpretation gives a serious meaning and tone, whereas the other interpretation gives a humorous meaning which is not likely to occur in normal contexts.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/ijhs.2017.010113

Abstract:
The title of this study is “Lexical Ambiguity in News Headlines of The Jakarta Post”. This study deals with lexical ambiguity and its factors. This study aims to identify the lexical ambiguity and analyze the factors of lexical ambiguity. The data was taken from The Jakarta Post’s articles that were published throughout 2019-2021. The documentation method and the note-taking technique were used in collecting the data. The data was analyzed by using the theory of lexical ambiguity proposed by Ullmann (1967). The results of the study showed that there are four words found as lexical ambiguity and two factors of lexical ambiguity, namely polysemy and homonymy. The words ‘flood’ and ‘ghosting’ are classified as homonymy, and the words ‘promise’ and ‘curfew’ are classified as polysemy.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the processes underlying the interpretation of lexically ambiguous words. Experiments 1, 2 and 3 looked at sentence context effects on the processing of balanced ambiguities. The experiments show clear priming of words related to the meanings of the ambiguous word, but they failed to show any effects of context on meaning activation. Experiments 4 and 5 examined meaning activation when ambiguous words are presented on their own. Of particular interest the experiments examined whether meaning frequency has a major role in the early meaning activation, in other words whether the dominant meaning is activated first. Again the experiments showed significant activation of both meanings of the homograph but there was no evidence that frequency is a major factor in this activation process. Experiments 6 and 7 examined context effects on meaning activation in the form of single word context. Experiment 6 used the same materials as in Experiments 4 and 5while Experiment 7 used a subset of those materials and added new materials. Again, both experiments provided further evidence that both meanings are activated with no significant effects of word-context. Finally, Experiments 8, 9, and 10 investigated the role of subjects' attentive strategy; an important factor in language processing in general, and word recognition and meaning selection in particular. EJ5.periment 8 used materials from Experiment 7 but manipulated the semantic relation in the filler items to focus attention on the semantic relation in the experimental items. Similarly, Experiments 9 and 10 looked at this strategic role but in sentence context rather than word context. Experiment 8 produced results showing that subjects can indeed use this strategy to direct attention to the upcoming target resulting in selective access of the dominant meaning when context biased this meaning. When context biased the subordinate meaning, however, both meanings were accessed. Experiments 9 and 10 produced results showing that subjects can use this strategy but differently. In Experiment 9 there was marginally significant activation for both meanings. When context was manipulated in Experiment 10 both meanings were significantly activated Based on these results, a theoretical account of lexical ambiguity processing is proposed, and the thesis considers its implications for theories of lexical ambiguity and word recognition in general

Abstract:
Polysemy refers to word forms that have semantically related or overlapping meanings. Studies of polysemy are few in number and contradictory. Some find differences between polysemy and homonymy (Frazier & Rayner, 1990); others find similarities (Klein & Murphy, 2001). Here, polysemous words independently rated to have low, moderate, or high semantic overlap of their distinct meanings, were studied using the methods of Klein & Murphy. Participants judged the sensicality of phrases consisting of a modifier and a polysemous word as a function of a cooperating, conflicting, or neutral context. Low and moderate-overlap words elicited slower judgments than high-overlap words, and were facilitated by a cooperating context. In contrast, high-overlap words were uniformly fast and did not differ as function of context. Thus, low- and moderate-overlap polysemous words behave similarly to homonyms, whereas high-overlap words do not. This is taken as support for a lexical ambiguity continuum delimited by homonymy and polysemy, without precise boundaries between the two.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.A. (Translation studies and Lingustics)) --University of Limpopo, 2015
The aim of this study is to investigate ambiguity in Xitsonga. There are many kinds of ambiguity, but the study mainly focuses on lexical and structural ambiguity. Lexical ambiguity occurs at word level and is caused by homonyms (homophones and homographs) and polysemes. Structural ambiguity occurs at sentence level. This kind of ambiguity manifests in the structure of the sentence itself. Data were collected through self-observation as a native Xitsonga speaker. Words and sentences with multiple meanings in Xitsonga were listed and tree diagrams were used to illustrate and disambiguate ambiguity. The study reveals that, like other languages, Xitsonga has words and sentences with double or many meanings. KEYWORDS AMBIGUITY, LEXICAL AMBIGUITY, STRUCTURAL AMBIGUITY, HOMONYM, HOMOPHONES, HOMOGRAPHS, POLYSEMES.
