Term Definition

Equivocation

An informal fallacy resulting from the use of a particular word/expression in multiple senses within an argument. It is a type of ambiguity that stems from a phrase having two or more distinct meanings, not from the grammar or structure of the sentence.

Example:

Since only man(human) is rational.
And no woman is a man(male).
Therefore, no woman is rational.
