Inhibition, as a cognitive processing mechanism in the process of language comprehension, plays a crucial role in different levels of language comprehension, such as vocabulary, sentence, paragraph, or text. This paper summarizes the recent studies on the important physiological and electrical index and brain mechanisms of the inhibition mechanism of ambiguous words, aiming to understand more systematically and deeply the influence of different foreign language proficiency, different frequency, and correlation degree of ambiguous words on language processing differences.
