Event Location and Vagueness
Philosophical Studies 128 (2):313 - 336 (2006)
| Abstract | Most event-referring expressions are vague: it is utterly difficult, if not impossible, to specify the exact spatiotemporal location of an event from the words that we use to refer to it. We argue that in spite of certain prima facie obstacles, such vagueness can be given a purely semantic (broadly supervaluational) account | |||||||||
