Abstract
Although ambiguity is an integral part of any natural language up to now its study was focused mainly on ambiguity resolution. However, there is a growing interest to various linguistic typologies for development of new tools for automatic language analysis. This article focuses on the development of a typology for dealing with linguistic ambiguity. The first section of this paper discusses the problem of ambiguity classification and is illustrated with relevant examples. The second part of the article provides the complete typology of ambiguity based on Russian corpora, and it is presented within the table of complex ambiguity description. The typology consists of nine columns of extralinguistic information and twelve of linguistic description. As a result the typology allows to make a complete analysis of each example of ambiguity regardless of its intentionality.
