| Abstract | ||
| Ambiguity is due to meaning which has more than one meaning. It may be due to several points, namely, pragmatic, phonetic, cultural, structural and grammatical. It means that words, phrases or any expressions have multiple meanings. The problem of this research is that these words or expressions could be interpreted into an ambiguous statement of target language. So, the translator will be confused to show the appropriate translation or rendering which stay as a ambiguous to source language. Added to these, some words as well as sentences have more than one meaning. So, according to words which have more than one meaning called lexical ambiguity whereas the sentence which has more than one meaning called syntactic ambiguity The study aims to translate the ambiguous structures from English into Arabic. For achieving this aim, the research hypothesises that the ambiguous structures of these expressions or words could be translated or interpreted via giving all things which they carry but not into unclear structures which belongs to source text. | ||
