To say that it exists in all languages is perhaps a bit strong, but, yes, most do. However, there are difference in the degree to which ambiguities occur. German, for example, has many morphological cues that allow the comprehender to rule out alternative interpretations. The price is that German tends to be slightly more verbose.
