Summary/Abstract: Contributed paper concerns the misleading ways of argumentation caused by ambiguity of natural language as Aristotle describes them in his writing On Sophistical Refutations. It will be shown that traditional and generally accepted interpretation of these paralogisms (especially of the third and fourth ones) is inappropriate and new solution will be proposed.
