According to the editors of the MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (2001), "True lexical ambiguity is typically distinguished from polysemy (e.g., 'the N.Y.

Times' as in this morning's edition of the newspaper versus the company that publishes the newspaper) or from vagueness (e.g., 'cut' as in 'cut the lawn' or 'cut the cloth'), though the boundaries can be fuzzy."
