It is a very important type of ambiguous structure of "在黑板上写字", deeply studied by many linguists , coded with "(NP1)+在+NL+VP+NP2". During the course of study , we find that the type of the verb "写"has the attribute of the semantic uncertainty in theoretical explanation. But when the concrete verbs enter the ambiguous structure of the "(NP1)+在+NL+VP+NP2", various ambiguity grades appear in the realistic understanding . There is a big difference between the verb's semantic uncertainty of the theoretical explanation and the ambiguity of the realistic understanding. The difference has made the starting point of our studying the ambiguous structure of "在黑板上写字". We analyse the semantic attribute of verbs in the structure of "在黑板上写字",from the point of the combination of the verbs and the nouns , finding that this kind of verbs have the attribute of [process continuation] and [adherence of displacement starting point /terminal point]. The semantic attribute of the "在+NL"has 3 meanings. First is the place of the affair happening , second is the place of adherence of the displacement direction and the third is the place of the things existing. So when the verbs of the type of "写"are combined with the first and second meanings of the position Noun , the semantic uncertainty appears during the structure of the "(NP1)+在+NL+VP+NP2". The third meaning of the position noun, "the place of the things existing"has the complicated relation with the N1 and N2 of the structure of the "(NP1)+在+NL+VP+NP2", which expresses the make-up of the space position and the acceptance of such make-up among the NL and NP1 NP2 . The acceptance of the make-up directly causes the difference of the ambiguity grade. We process the relation of the NL NP1 NP2 in the 80 "(NP1)+在+NL+VP+NP2"ambiguous tokens which include the attribute of the process continuation , getting the data of ambiguity capacity and the ratio of the biggest compatible degree and second compatible degree.
