AMBIGUITY
The coexistence of more than one meaning or interpretation of a symbol or message. Ambiguous sentences convey less information than unambiguous ones but may be more enjoyable to the reader as are poetry and literature. In political discourse ambiguity is often intended so as to convince or attract a diversity of audience members (see double talk). (Krippendorff)
