Aug 29, 2021 at 9:13 comment added sundowner @Mauro At first, I was thinking the OP's 2nd sentence has a unique parsing with 彼女は as the subject, still ambiguity on who was told a lie. But in the end, there are multiple parse trees for both sentences, so the 'syntactically and semantically ambiguous' is redundant and perhaps confusing. Generally syntactic ambiguity should imply semantic one (in most languages), but not absolutely sure.
Aug 29, 2021 at 8:53 comment added Mauro Can a sentence be sintatically ambiguous, but not semantically? For context, I'm trying to understand your "is both syntactically and semantically ambiguous": I understand "semantically ambiguous" means an ambiguous meaning and now that "syntactically ambiguous" means more parsing trees, but I'm not sure if "syntactically ambiguous" implies "semantically ambiguous": did you listed both for clarity, or because a sentence can be syntactically, but not semantically, ambiguous?
Aug 29, 2021 at 8:39 comment added sundowner Actually I was missing the possibility of someone else's confessing. I edited accordingly.
Aug 29, 2021 at 8:39 comment added sundowner @Mauro I mean the sentence has more than one parse tree.
