Vagueness and language use
Paul Égré & Nathan Klinedinst (eds.)
New York: Palgrave-Macmillan (2011)
Abstract
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 paradoxOther Versions
