- Abstract
-
“Ambiguity” exists when some words, sentences, utterances, and certain usages have more than one meaning. The listeners become incapable of understanding the exact meaning the interlocutor aims to, but they can have their own understanding or guessing to uncover this type of riddles or puns. In order to have a sufficient and in depth comprehension of language usage , a questionnaire is distributed among (20) male and female students at Ibri College in the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman. The researchers have found that ambiguity occurs when the speaker uses words that have more than one meaning
which mislead and confuse the audience. Discussion, implications, and recommendations will be highlighted throughout the article. - Downloads
