Abstract

We saw that looking up a word in a lexicon or carrying out a morphological analysis on a word can leave it with an ambiguous part of speech. The word chair, which can be assigned two tags, noun or verb, is an example of ambiguity. It is a noun in the phrase a chair, and a verb in to chair a session.
