Resumen
This paper focuses on the forms of ambiguity in cleft and pseudocleft constructions. To account for the fact that the ambiguity -whichever it is- in cleft or pseudocleft sentences is only outwardly, I argue by means of two basic lines: semantic properties and pragmatic arguments. In addition, the opposition "referential / predicative" proves to be decisive on this matter. Moreover, this work demonstrates that the be/ser verb of "discontinuos" It-cleft sentences with that is not ambiguous but just one copulative verb.
