Thanks for the remarkable explanation that you have given throughout this video sir. I understand quite a bit about how the use of tree diagrams to solve ambiguities, but I still find it kinda difficult to implement this by myself.
In the previous video regarding the discussion of tree diagrams about the sentence, I think sentences are quite easy to analyze this way. However, on the material of ambiguity analysis in sentences, I think this is quite difficult for me to understand if I do not try it on other sentences. After I tried to study more about it, some sentences that contain ambiguity are quite easy to analyze if they only contain one NP and VP as in the first example. For the second example, it took me a long time to understand it myself, Sir. I will try again with another sentence until I understand. Thank you for the explanation, Sir.
Thank you for the explanation, sir.
it helps me so much to understand diagram tree. tree diagrams make it easy to visualize and solve probability problems. They are a significant tool in breaking the problem down in a schematic way. While tree diagrams can convert many complicated problems into simple ones, they are not very useful when the sample space becomes too large.
Great materials. Love it
Thanks...
Thanks for the explanation, sir.
I understand that analyzing sentence ambiguity must use 2 tree diagrams, but I'm still having a bit of trouble putting it into practice directly. It's okay, I'll try harder to practice. This video helped me, thank you.
The ambiguous meanings are clearly solved. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure
Thank you for the explanation, Sir. I understand that two diagrams explain the possible meanings of a sentence. Each diagram creates a different possibility or meaning because the arrangement of each diagram is also different.
Great analysis. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure. Hope you enjoy it
Thank you for the video, sir. From the video I can conclude that the tree diagrams can be used to disclose the ambiguity in a sentence. I also can see the differences between those tree diagrams.
Thank you for sharing. This is very useful information. Love it.......
My pleasure.
Thank you for the explanation, sir. From the video I understand the tree diagram can also solve the ambiguous meaning in a sentence. To show the meaning of the ambiguous sentence, we need to draw two tree diagrams that have the analysis of the same sentence. In order to find the difference between two tree diagrams, we need to pay attention to the branches of the tree diagrams and also the position of the phrase structure that will show the ambiguity. As a result, we can see the phrases that have the same constituents through the tree diagram and get the meaning of the ambiguous sentence.
Thank you very much for the explanation. It's really clear
My pleasure
Great analysis. Now I do understand how to find ambiguities caused by the structure.
Thanks. Glad to hear that
Thanks for sharing. This is really helpful for me
I'm glad to share
Thank you very much for the video, sir. It's really helpful.
You're welcome. I'm glad to be helpful
Thank you so much for the great explanation sir. i got it that we can find two or more different meaning within a sentence. thus, it confuses some poeple when trying to find the real meaning. but actually, that is the real meaning. the sentence can be understood in two ways. from the video above, its demonstrate about the used of tree diagram to disclose an ambiguity. it discuss about the preposition and coordinating conjunction. the confused sentence can be easily understood after breaking down each of the constituent untill the smallest. for example, from the video, the use of preposition in "with a stick" can belong to different subject without changing the posisition.
I have appreciated the lecture
Thank you
Great idea. Ambiguities are explained through a syntactic diagram.
Thanks. Hope it would be useful
Thank you for the great explanation sir. From the video, I quite understand how tree diagrams can solve ambiguity. For example as you explained that we separate "with a stick" from NP, if it belongs to the boy. Then we can combine it with NP if it belongs to an old man.
Good morning sir, sorry for the late comment
Thankyou for the explanation, from what I can conclude, In a statement, tree diagrams can be used to represent ambiguous ideas. To grasp confusing statements using tree diagrams, we need to practice as much as feasible.
I hope you can make more videos by analyzing other cases of sentences using a tree diagram.
Sure, I will. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for this very cool explanation sir. Honestly, I'm still confused and difficult to execute an ambiguous sentence using a tree diagram. It turned out to be quite difficult to be able to use it. But I will try to learn more. In the first example sentence we can say that the boy uses a stick to hit the old man. For the second sentence I'm still confused sir. But I will try to study it again.
Thank you for the explanation sir.
It is a clear explanation. Based on the explanation, we can conclude that tree diagram can analyzed the ambiguites to solve sentence meaning. It's quite different cause the example used conjunction.
So, I still quite confused to implement the material.
Thank you for the explanation, sir. I do understand about how to create the tree diagram and i also could determine the function of each word in the sentence. But actually, in the ambigu sentences, i quite confused how to determine the word belongs to what. For instance, the boys hit the old man with the stick, it is quite difficult for me to determine which one will belong to something. Thank you.
Great analysis on ambiguities...
Thanks
Thank you for the clearly explanation sir. I understand your explanation so well how ambiguilty in the sentence. The ambiguilties can be analyzed by usid tree diagram. I understand the ambigulties in sentence after the exolanation using tree diagram , but I dont really get it when the structure of the sentence is changing.
Thank you so much for your explanation sir, it's really help me a lot to analyze the sentence and solve the ambiguities in it.
You're right. Sometimes we even don't realize that the sentence we produce contains ambiguity.
Thanks for the great explanation that you have given throughout this video, sir. I understand quite a bit about how the use of tree diagrams to solve ambiguities, but I still find it kind of difficult to implement this by myself. I think I'll rewatch the previous video to get more understanding about analyzing a sentence by using a tree diagram, so that I can understand this material well.
You can watch the video while doing a practice on using tree diagrams in sentence analysis.
Thank you for the explanation sir, you explained it clearly and slowly to us, so based on the explanation of the video we can conclude that tree diagrams can be used to express ambiguous meanings in a sentence.
We need practice as often as possible so that we can understand ambiguous sentences using a tree diagrams.
Absolutely
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Thank you for your great explanation sir,it's make me get a little understand how ambiguity can be analayze by using a tree diagram. But for the implementation,i still get a difficulties to do with my self sir🙏
thank you for the explanation sir.
tree diagram reveals the ambiguity meaning in sentences. there are two kind of ambiguity. first the amboguity that caused by coordinate conjuction and the second is caused by a preposition phrase. so we need to pay attention to the ambiguity in order to draw the tree diagram sentences.
Thank you for the explanation sir. What I got from your explanation, sentence has ambiguity because it has several meanings. So, tree diagrams can resolve ambiguous meanings in sentences.
Yes, and the number of diagrams depends on the number of meanings the sentence contains.
Your explanation makes me understand the meaning of ambiguity and how it may appear because of the structure. Thanks a lot sir.
My pleasure
Thank you sir for your explanation in an easy way to understand, I quite understand how to solve ambiguity sentence by using three diagram.However, when I try to practice it with another ambiguity sentence by myself, I am still confused sir.
Thank you for the explanation, Sir. From the video, we can conclude that sentence has ambiguity because it has several meanings. We can know how to use the tree diagram to solve ambiguities meaning in a sentence. But, I'm still confused about how to implement it Sir 🙏🏻
Thank you for the explanation sir. Here i wanna give a question. Is the happening of ambiguities in sentences just limited with the using of conjunction or prepositional phrase?.
Well done presentation
Thanks. Hope you understand it
Thank you for the explanation sir. The video is very good and helpful sir. I now understand enough about using a tree diagram to solve ambiguities. However, may I get more examples, sir? Thank you, sir.
thank you for the explanation sir, so in this video tell about how we us tree diagram to reveal ambiguous meaning in sentence because sentence have several meaning. to find out we analyze using 2 tree diagrams There are 2 example in this video the first ambiguity is cause by coordinate conjunction and the second example ambiguity caused by preposition. this is very fun because we can find out several meanings of sentece using a tree diagram, although I'm a little confused about how the meaning of the sentence can change but I will try to practice again and repeat the explanation video.
Thanks for your great explanation sir, I can conclude that the position of Coordinate conjunction can make an ambiguities in the sentence and it has different meaning. What about another coordinate conjunction sir like but, nor, yet? Is it can make an ambiguity in the sentence sir?
Thank you for the intelligible explanation, sir. At first, I felt it difficult to analyze sentence ambiguity using tree diagrams, especially for long sentences. However, after doing some practice solving sentence ambiguity, I find it's not as difficult as I thought.
Great. A lot of practice makes everything easier.
thanks for the explanation sir, i have a little understanding on how to use tree diagram to resolve ambiguity. but I have to watch the previous video to make it easier to understand.
Got it
Thank you for the explanation sir. From the video, i quite understand how ambiguity in a sentence can be analyzed by using tree diagrams. Based two example that you have explain on the video, i can understand the second example. In the second example the ambiguity in the sentence is caused by prepositions. We can analyzed that the problem is who has a stick. First diagram, the stick can refer to the boy with a stick. So, we assume that the boy uses a stick to hit an old man. While in the second diagram it can refer to the old man. For sure, we can assume that the old man has a stick. My problem is in the first example, i'm still confused is it the door being locked by 1 person or 2 people together. But, i will try to repeat the explanation again so that i can understand. In implementing, I'm still having trouble and confused in practicing it, sir.
Thanks for the explanation sir
From the video, it is explained that the tree diagram is used to express ambiguous meaning in a sentence. The ambiguity in the example sentences in the first video that needs to be considered is the coordinating conjunction. The meaning of the sentence depends on the NP, namely Risa or tom and jack. The first diagram shows the door being locked by 1 person or 2 people but the second diagram shows the door being closed by 2 people and they could be lisa or tom with jack.
While in the second video the ambiguity in the sentence is caused by prespositions. The problem is who has a stick. First the stick can refer to old men and secondly it can refer to a boy.
But, I'm still having trouble practicing it, I think I still need to practice
Thank you, sorry if there are mistakes
When you have worked with tree diagrams several times, you will be able to identify several possible meanings contained in the sentence you analyze.
Thank you for the explanation sir. From the video I concluded that analyzing sentence ambiguity should use 2 tree diagrams. I'm still having trouble doing that analysis, but I'll try to practice again to understand better. This video really helped me to improve my understanding.
Yes. The term "ambiguous" may mean "capable of being understood in two or more possible senses or ways". Therefore, in order to prove that the sentence is ambiguous, we should provide at least two diagrams.
thanks for the explanation sir, I have started to understand about the diagram and the difference of them. but to implement it directly I'm still a little confused sir.
Thank you for the explanation, Sir.
I understand that these two diagrams explain the possible meanings of a sentence. Each diagram produces a different possibility or meaning because the arrangement of each diagram is also different. But I'm still confused and find it difficult to practice this understanding in other sentences by myself.
That is the reason why I asked you to analyze two sentences containing ambiguities as the assignment. You need to a lot of practice on it.
Assalamualaikum sir. I'm Srie Novita Winda from K-5 .
Thank you for the explanation sir. but I still get confused. I want to ask sir, does it mean that in determining the meaning of a sentence it depends on the location of the NP and VP, sir??
Assalamualaikum, Thank for your explanation sir. According to the video, the tree diagram can also resolve ambiguous meanings in sentences. To demonstrate the meaning of the ambiguous sentence, we must create two tree diagrams that analyze the same sentence. To determine the difference between two tree diagrams, we must examine the branches of the tree diagrams as well as the position of the phrase structure that will reveal the ambiguity. As a result, using the tree diagram, we can see the phrases with the same constituents and determine the meaning of the ambiguous sentence. If i do a mistake when i try to understand your explanation, feel free to correct me sir🙏🏻
Thank you for the video, sir. I get point that tree diagram can show what the causes of ambiguity and based on the video, there are two causes of the ambiguity, they are coordinating conjunction and Preposition phrase. After watching the explanation how to the sentences become ambiguity by using tree diagram, we can avoid the ambiguity with making it sure how the sentences are made. That's all what can be concluded from the video based on my understanding. Thank you very much, sir.

Thank you for the explanation Sir. But i still confuse with the tree diagram. So i will replay previous video a few times again. So I'll understand the tree diagram
That's what you should do...
thankyou for your explanation sir. The explanation is very easy to understand. But when making the tree diagram, I still have a little doubt.
Your doubt may be caused by your weakness in determining the PS of the sentence you analyze. Read more the materials related to PS rules.
Thank you for the explanation, sir! I keep on rewatching the video because It's a bit hard to understand it. According to the video, the tree diagram may help resolve confusing meaning in a statement. To demonstrate the meaning of the ambiguous statement, we must design two tree diagrams using the same sentence's analysis. To determine the difference between two tree diagrams, we must look at the tree diagrams' branches as well as the location of the phrase structure that will reveal the ambiguity. As a result of the tree diagram, we may observe the phrases with the same parts and deduce the meaning of the ambiguous statement.

You may have more than 2 diagrams if the sentence contains more than two meanings.
Thank you for the very good explanation sir, sorry sir, I'm still a bit confused, and don't really understand the tree diagram concept, I need to learn more about the tree diagram concept, as in the sentence "the boy hit an old man with a stick" . in the tree diagram you put stick on PP, isn't stick a verb?
I'm still confused about analyzing sentences using tree diagrams, and this is my weakness, maybe next time it can be explained more simply, so it's easy to understand. Thank you very much sir.
Then I want to ask, is the ambiguity indicator of a sentence only seen from the meaning disclosed or is there something else?
Excuse me, Siska. If I am not mistaken, stick has several meanings. It depends on the context of the sentence. In the sentence "The boy hit an old man with a stick", stick acts as a noun in a prepositional phrase which means "tongkat". However, stick can act as a verb in the context of a sentence like this "I Cannot stick this job a day longer", where stick here means "to bear or accept something". Thank you, please correct me if I am wrong.
@@zahraniesamuliya6885 Great, thank you very much kakak. thank you for making me understand
Sir, thank you for the information and explanation. So far, I've figured out how to make a tree diagram. As a result, I may infer that a tree diagram can be used to resolve unclear meaning in statements. Coordinating conjunctions and preposition phrases, according to your interpretation, are two examples that produce ambiguity. Thank you.

Yes, there are some more causes of ambiguities. They can be solved by using tree diagrams.
My name is Saskia Maharani Putri (20018031) from k4-20. Thank you for your explanation, sir. From the video, I concluded that sentence has ambiguity cause it has several meanings. Moreover, the sentence has two tree diagram with certain differences between them. The differences is commonly depending on the differences in making tree diagrams and interpreting the meaning of sentences. However, I still got a little confused for interpreting ambiguity of sentence.
How about other ambiguities?
Thank you for the excellent explanation sir. I quite understand how to analyze the ambiguity. But, sorry sir I'm still a bit confused how to make a tree diagram or analyze the ambiguity if there are 2 verbs? Thank you sir
Hello Yelly. i'm Saskia Maharani Putri (20018031) from k4-20. I just wanna try to answer you question. In my opinion, if there are two verbs that contain in the sentence, you can arrange it by making another VP after the first VP, or you can also make it directly by writing V.
@@saskiamaharani2709 Alright, Thank you Saskia. I got it
Is it same with syntacticak error sir? it it is no , please teach us about syntactical error, ill be very happy if u explain with clearly
No, it's not. Syntactical errors make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Meanwhile, an ambiguous sentence is grammatically correct, but it contains more than one meaning.
@@rusdinoorrosa9155 @Rusdi Noor Rosa
Sir..., i have a question, Could u please help me!
this is the sentence;
Air pollution commonly caused by motorized vehicles smoke
is there any wrong pattern in syntax?
in grammatical aspect ,it is not correct because we need to put "is" before the verb [ is commonly caused ]
can syntax pattern detect grammatical error in sentence even though we have followed the rules NP+VP
thank u in advance
What if there is 2 prepositions In the sentence ?
If there are two prepositions, there will be two prepositional phrases. And the use of two prepositional phrases can also cause ambiguity.
Thank you for your explanation sir. from this video I can understand well how the tree diagram can solve the ambiguous meaning in a sentence. But in order to implement it, I'm still confused about it sir.

good morning sir
Good morning. How do you do?
@@rusdinoorrosa9155 very good .my regards from Yemen
Great. I love Yemen. I'm Indonesian
Assalamualaikum wr.wb.
Thanks you for the material and the explanation,Sir.
So far i do understand how to create a tree diagram. So i can conclude that to solve the ambiguous meaning in sentences we can use tree diagram. Based on your explanation, there are two example causes ambiquity which are coordinating conjunction and preposition phrases. That's all from me. Thank you, Sir.

Tapi tidak semua bahasa mempunyai struktur frasa seperti ini
Semua bahasa pasti memiliki struktur frasa masing-masing. Yang terpenting adalah bagaimana kita melihat apakah struktur tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya makna ganda atau tidak.
My name is Paulus Sijabat 18018046 sir, i would like to thank for this great explanation. Based on the video i could consider that by understanding PS rules we can easily draw the tree diagram and also find out the ambiguity in the sentences.
Thank you sir
Absolutely.
Vielleicht ist dieses Baumdiagramm etwas anders, wenn es darum geht, Deutsch zu analysieren.
Maybe. But it is applicable in analyzing German sentences.
