word of the week 2

The word that I came across this week was actually a word that was in a lecture in my Communications class. As my professor was reading his notes from his power point presentation, I came across a word that sounded very familiar but unfortunately I could not recall the meaning of the word.

The lecture notes read as follows:

"2. Verbal Behavior

-ambiguity

-group- restricted coded"

Once again, that famous question popped into my head.."what's that?"

The Merriam Webster dictionary describes the word two different ways.

Ambiguity comes from the term ambiguous, but it basically means uncertainty.

1. doubtful or uncertain especially from obscurity or indistinctness (adverb)

2. capable of being understood in two or more possible senses or ways (noun)

depending on what way you use the sentence, one translation can be: the shirt that Rod was wearing was of an ambiguous color.

another sentence can be: Rod is filled with much ambiguity.
