In communication, language is one of important aspects. People need language to communicate and interact with each other to fill up what they need. People can share some information by communicating in spoken or written form. However, sometimes the single word which is used to form a phrase or sentence can lead the readers or the listeners to have more than one interpretation about the information. The different interpretation can be found in term the meaning of word itself or when the words are formed in a phrase or sentence. This situation is called ambiguity. Based on that above description, the problem formulated in this study are: (1) What are the interpretations of the ambiguous which are found in the headline news of The Jakarta Post. (2) What are the causes of ambiguity which are found in the headline news of The Jakarta Post.
