The context in which an ambiguous word is used often makes it evident which of the meanings is intended.
If, for instance, someone says " I buried $ 100 in the bank ", most people would not think someone used a shovel to dig in the mud.
However, some linguistic contexts do not provide sufficient information to disambiguate a used word.
For example, " biweekly " can mean " fortnightly " ( once every two weeks – 26 times a year ), or " twice a week " ( 104 times a year ).
If " biweekly " is used in a conversation about a meeting schedule, it may be difficult to infer which meaning was intended.
