A Dictionary of Grammatical Terms in Linguistics
/
/ n. A formal grammar for a particular language which assigns at least two different structural descriptions (parses) to at least one string of words. It is usually assumed that natural languages are inherently ambiguous, and that any plausible grammar for a natural language must therefore be an ambiguous grammar, but see Pullum (1984a) for some discussion.
