摘　　要：歧义是自然语言的普遍现象,英语中的歧义更是屡见不鲜,然而大多数关于歧义的研究都是基于形式语法。该文选取系统功能语言学视角,重点讨论英语中名词词组与小句中的歧义现象,使用功能理论分析名词词组与小句的内部经验结构及多元功能,从而探讨歧义的产生机制。研究显示系统功能语法对于理解歧义现象的有效性。Ambiguity, which commonly occurs in English, is a universally acknowledged phenomenon of human languages.

This paper adopts a systemic-functional linguistic perspective and employsfunctional theories to tentatively analyze the experiential structure and metafunctions of the nominal group and some clauses for theultimate purpose of the exploration of the mechanism of ambiguity. The paper indicates the effectiveness of systemic functionalgrammar in understanding ambiguity.
