| Abstract | "This volume uncovers a great mystery about language: why can we communicate so effectively despite the fact that ambiguity is pervasive? Conversely, how do speakers use ambiguity to achieve a specific goal? Answers to these questions are provided from different fields: (psycho)linguistics, literary criticism, rhetoric, theology, media studies, [and] law"-- Provided by publisher. |
