Keywords:

Ambiguity, linguistic context, experimental context,, wave-particle duality, linguistic organizational levels.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to defend the following thesis: there is a parallel in the treatment of ambiguities in linguistics and the use of wave and particle concepts in quantum mechanics, this parallelism is that ultimately there is a context that it plays a central role in disambiguation. This thesis is justified according to the definition of “parallelism” and by virtue of two premises: the first one according to which although ambiguity can be due and explained according to some of the different levels of organization of the language, it is in the emission context of an expression that a given interpretation is selected. The second premise states that while the electron can be conceived as a wave or as a particle, it is in the context of experimentation that a given interpretation will be chosen. In addition, we will try to explain this last ambiguity in terms of the transition in physical theory between formal language and natural or ordinary language and the different principles of reality that both imply, as well as giving a non-dualistic interpretation between nature and language from she.
