Ambiguity in Sentences - How to Solve this Problem?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find out that some sentences in English are clearly ambiguous, whether in its entirety or temporary ambiguity. This leads to some sentences having double meanings, such as "he gave her cat food" and this is not beneficial to the reader as the reader would like to be able to understand what the writer is trying to express immediately after reading it.

As this problem can be quite pertinent to us since it affects the way we communicate, I would like to suggest one method to solve the problem. I believe that the writer must be able to view his/her statement in different perspectives and think about how the reader might understand the statement in a visual way for example. For example, in the sentence above, "he gave her cat food", the writer must be able to think whether the reader would view it as (he)(gave)(her)(cat food) or (he)(gave)(her cat)(food). If necessary some rearrangement of the sentence would be easily able to solve the problem. If the writer means the former meaning he/she should rearrange the sentence to become "he gave cat food to her" or the latter, "he gave food to her cat". As such there is no ambiguity in the sentence since the reader is able to picture a person feeding a cat in the latter version.

Alternatively, if the sentence is spoken, no rearrangement of the sentence is necessary but there must be obvious breaks in the phrasing of the sentence, clearly showing the writer's treatment of the two words "her cat".

Why I am even discussing this topic to start with is because I believe language affects the way how we think. Clearly, the above is one example of this, since the way we express the sentence could give us different interpretations of it. To allow people to clearly understand what one wants to express, one should be able to manipulate language to express one's point of view with no ambiguity at all.
