Wasow 2003 says "Ambiguity is a semantic property."

But a property of what? Hints (from Wasow 2003):

Why are natural languages so ambiguous?
An expression is ambiguous if it has two or more distinct denotations ....
Inflectional morphemes are ambiguous ....
There are also ambiguous multi-word expressions whose ambiguity cannot be attributed to the ambiguity of any morpheme or word in them.
Or to take a case of speech act ambiguity, who has never mistakenly provided an answer to a rhetorical question?
... a legal case involving ambiguity of the expression net of in the following text from a formal contract ....
... we didn't even present a metric to determine how ambiguous languages are.
