La madre de un alumno

[Perikles]

Encontré en El País:

la madre de un alumno de 5 años que agredió a la maestra

Who hit the teacher?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Amphibology did.

But the rest of the sentence makes it clearer:

...la madre de un alumno de 5 años que agredió a la maestra de su hijo...

I didn't notice that. Thanks.

(but we still never use the word amphibology )

I've never heard "amphibology" used, although it does mean
"an ambiguous grammatical construction".

Oh well, I will try to remember "ambiguity" each time I want to write "amphibology" then.
