for a whole week

[navi tasan]

1-I will not be here for a whole week.

Can't this sentence mean two things:
a-I will be absent for a whole week.
b-I will be here for less than a week.

Gratefully,
Navi.

Yes.

As always, context is everything. "Here" must refer to where the speaker is at the time of speaking so that should give the listener a clue.

Can't this sentence mean two things:
a-I will be absent for a whole week.
b-I will be here for less than a week.

Yes, but, as so often, we could remove the ambiguity if it mattered by changing the wording.
