I was on some website last night (not a celebrity one, I must stress), when I saw this link, with the legend Baby fears for Katie Price written underneath it. Whilst Im sure that the sentence is intended to mean that Ms Price is worried about her baby (this must be an old story, as the baby was born months ago), the sentence itself is ambiguous, since it could (although unlikely!) mean that a baby is concerned for Ms Prices welfare. How do other languages avoid this kind of ambiguousness? Are there any grammatical structures, word endings, etc.? (Katie Price, by the way, is somebody whos famous in the UK for no valid reason).
