Librarea Talks - "Ambiguity - A Problematic Linguistic Phenomenon"

1 June 2022

On June 1, a public lecture was held at the Caucasus University Bookstore "Librarea". The lecture was led by Irakli Salia, a researcher in general linguistics, on the topic “Ambiguity - a problematic linguistic phenomenon.”

 

Ambiguity is a linguistic phenomenon that includes polysemy, homonymy, homography, and syntactic homonymy, that is, all cases where several meanings are associated with the same sound sequence. Ambiguity in the fields of linguistics, formal logic, philosophy, cognitive and computational linguistics has been (and still is) one of the major puzzles throughout their existence. Ambiguity - A problematic linguistic phenomenon was discussed in the lecture in the context of different theories from the perspective of different disciplines.

 

The Librarea space constantly hosts Caucasus University students and community speakers of interest for scientific, cultural, political or other conversations. Also, new public lectures are constantly being planned for the series - Librarea Talks.
