We saw her duck. 🦆
‘We saw her duck.’ is a simple comic based on a play on words and a sentence’s syntactic ambiguity.
*Syntactic ambiguity arises not from the range of meanings of single words, but from the relationship between the words and clauses of a sentence, and the sentence structure underlying the word order therein. In other words, a sentence is syntactically ambiguous when a reader or listener can reasonably interpret one sentence as having more than one possible structure.
