About This Resource
This C1 resource examines sentences that allow more than one grammatical structure, scope relationship, or attachment and therefore more than one interpretation. It develops diagnostic skills for identifying realistic competing readings and revising when context does not resolve the ambiguity clearly enough.
What You’ll Learn
• Recognize structural, attachment, scope, and reference ambiguities.
• Identify the competing grammatical analyses that produce different readings.
• Decide whether context is sufficient to disambiguate the intended meaning.
• Restructure ambiguous sentences when a competing interpretation remains realistically available.
