Hello,
I have a question.

A.]
Consider this statement below:-
He played music on the Mp3 player in his car, which was newly
purchased.

Now what connotation does this above sentence give , does it mean:
1.) that the MP3 player is newly purchased
Or
2.) that the car is newly purchased


It is ambiguous.

Now how do i change punctuation of this sentence to get above two
different connotations:


"He played music in the car, on his newly-purchased mp3 player".

"He played music on the mp3 player in his newly-purchased car".

What arrangement of the pronouns and the semicolon, give which kind of
connotation.

B.]
Under which Part of Speech of English Language grammer is this kind of
grammar covered ?


I'll let somebody else answer that one...
