4. Metaphorical ambiguity. It is the ambiguity that some metaphorical or idiomatic sentences exhibit because they may be interpreted in their literal meaning or in their nonlit­eral meaning. E.g., the following sentences are metaphorically ambiguous:
Dr. Jones is a butcher.
Jones is the name of a physician who also slaughters animals and/or sells meats.
Dr. Jones is a harmful, possibly murderous doctor, who likes to operate on people un­necessarily.
John is a snake in the grass.
John is the name of a snake that is in the grass.
John is a deceitful person who pretends to be a friend.
This car is a lemon.
This car is a miniature car carved out of or shaped like a lemon.
This a newly purchased car that often breaks down and needs constant repairs.
It is interesting to note that, in each case above, the second interpretation is more common or likely than the first one.
Disambiguation
Disambiguation is the process by which the ambiguity of a word or sentence is elimi­nated. Generally, ambiguities are resolved by using the word or sentence in sufficient and appropriate contexts (whether linguistic and/or social), and by means of the use of emphatic pronunciation and intonation.
Collocations
Collocations are combinations of two or more words that often occur together in speech and writing. Among the possible combinations are verbs + nouns, adjectives + nouns, adverbs + adjectives, prepositional phrases, noun phrases (i.e., prepositions + noun phrases), similes (i.e., comparisons of some things to others) and so on. Some idio­matic expressions are considered collocations, too. The order of the constituent elements of collocations is somewhat fixed. Also, the constituent words cannot be replaced by other words. The following are some examples of English collocations.

Adj. + a resounding

a crying shame

noun victory
