<DIV>Dear Karen,</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>(I had to send this to the corpora list because I get bounced mail for you). </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I would like to help but am unsure what you mean by an ambiguous word.  I can understand that a particular word in a sentence might be ambiguous. For example,  "Mary's a funny person" could mean that she is comical or that she is strange. However, words are used in some kind of context. Therefore, in the example, 'funny' is only ambiguous if I have insufficient context to help me decide the particular use of that polysemous word. In short, I believe we do not think of words themselves as being ambiguous. What may be ambiguous (e.g. in need of clarification) is the way a word/phrase is used in a particular context or context of situation.   Perhaps you can offer a few examples. Apart from that, I can only offer the following  from my small data base where ambiguity is discussed:</DIV>
