Beschreibung:
This volume brings together twelve papers by linguists and philosophers contributing novel empirical and formal considerations to theorizing about vagueness. Three main issues are addressed: gradable expressions and comparison, the semantics of degree adverbs and intensifiers (such as 'clearly'), and ways of evading the sorites paradox.
Linguists and philosophers present new work on vagueness focusing on words and constructions that regulate the vagueness of others and what these can reveal about the phenomenon of vague language
