Editing Syntactic ambiguity (section)

===Locally ambiguous===
A locally ambiguous sentence is a sentence that contains an ambiguous phrase but has only one interpretation.<ref name="LamersSwart2011">{{cite book|author1=Monique Lamers|author2=Peter de Swart|title=Case, Word Order and Prominence: Interacting Cues in Language Production and Comprehension|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Eoe8RhLy3IUC&q=%22locally+ambiguous%22|date=20 October 2011|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=978-94-007-1463-2}}</ref> The ambiguity in a locally ambiguous sentence briefly stays and is resolved, i.e., [[Word-sense disambiguation|disambiguated]], by the end of the speech. Sometimes, local ambiguities can result in [[Garden path sentence|"garden path" sentences]], in which a structurally correct sentence is difficult to interpret because one interpretation of the ambiguous region is not the one that makes most sense.
