Abstract
Ambiguity is one of the fundamental properties of languages. It has double meanings, which means a certain word or a certain sentence has implied multiple meanings besides its original meaning. Ambiguity usually exists in many languages. The phenomenon of English ambiguity is mainly reflected in four aspects: lexical ambiguity, grammatical ambiguity,phonetic ambiguity and common saying ambiguity. Probing into the phenomenon of ambiguity continuously possesses not only theoretical significance but practical importance as well.
