问答题 There are lexical ambiguity and structural ambiguity. How do you think ambiguity can be resolved? Please use examples.

【正确答案】Lexical ambiguity is the kind of ambiguity that can be explained by reference to lexical meanings. This is usually cause by polysemy of homonymy. For example, in the sentence I saw a bat, a bat might refers to an animal, or, among others, a table tennis bat.
Structural ambiguity, also know as syntactic ambiguity, can be caused because the surface structure of a sentence or phrase is ambiguous. For example: my small child's cot. This phrase can be understood in three ways for having three surface structures.
