Several puns of John Milton have double meanings that are not interconnected and yet they emerge simultaneously. This ambiguity arises when two meanings that are apparently unconnected emerge simultaneously. This ambiguity emerges from A and B of C. Eliot about his revisions of the Shakespearean language. It happens because of the use of double metaphors simultaneously. Geoffery Chaucer has also used such a type of ambiguity in which a word may have double meanings, but they ultimately resolve into one. Empson has cited various examples of grammar from the sonnets of Shakespeare. However, both of these alternatives resolve into one when compared. This ambiguity comprises two alternative meanings of a word.
Empson also adds an annexure about dramatic irony and its role in creating ambiguity through verbal nuances. He cites examples from Alexander Pope, Ben Jonson, Robert Browning, William Morris, Robert Spenser, and Christopher Marlow. The words causing such ambiguity are mostly comparative adjectives, rhythmic meanings, and subdued metaphors. It is actually the problem of pronunciation and its understanding in a context that depends on various comparisons through antitheses and similarities.
Such meanings, he argues, come from the analysis of words. However, Empson suggests that it should not be stretched too far due to fear of its becoming absurd. The first type of ambiguity is the pronunciation or speech that comprises various alternate reactions due to verbal nuance.
