Ambiguity is an intrinsic characteristic of human conversations and one that is particularly challenging in natural language understanding (NLU) scenarios; we are essentially referring to sentences that have (a)   interpretations.

Lexical Ambiguity represents words that can have (a)   assertions. For instance, in English, the word "back" can be a noun (backstage), an adjective (back door), or an adverb (back away).

Syntactic Ambiguity represents sentences that can be parsed in (a)   ways. Take the following sentence: "I heard his cell phone ring in my office."

Semantic Ambiguity is typically related to the interpretation of a sentence, dealing with the (a)   of the sentence.

Metonymy deals with phrases in which the literal meaning is different from the (a)   assertion. For instance, when we say "Samsung is screaming for new management," we don't really mean that the company is literally screaming.
