Is this sentence ambiguous:
1-I don't know many things about her.
a-It is not true that I know many things about her. I know few things about her.
b-There are many things about her that I don't know (may-be there are also many things about her I do know).
[If I am correct, in spoken language the difference would be clear. I think in a, don't would be stressed and in b many.]
