Grice: “Meaning”
... speaker’s meaning, which is itself spelled out in terms of speaker’s intentions to produce beliefs in hearers. Since belief is a propositional attitude, this means that for Grice the basic unit of meaning is the sentence. 2. But natural languages contain infinitely many meaningful sentences. And onl ...

Ambiguity
Ambiguity is a type of uncertainty of meaning in which several interpretations are plausible. It is thus an attribute of any idea or statement whose intended meaning cannot be definitively resolved according to a rule or process with a finite number of steps. (The ambi- part of the name reflects an idea of ""two"" as in two meanings.)The concept of ambiguity is generally contrasted with vagueness. In ambiguity, specific and distinct interpretations are permitted (although some may not be immediately apparent), whereas with information that is vague, it is difficult to form any interpretation at the desired level of specificity.Context may play a role in resolving ambiguity. For example, the same piece of information may be ambiguous in one context and unambiguous in another.
