Vagueness of Linguistic variable
In the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into various programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are creating systems ...
متن کاملVagueness as Probabilistic Linguistic Knowledge
Consideration of the metalinguistic effects of utterances involving vague terms has led Barker [1] to treat vagueness using a modified Stalnakerian model of assertion. I present a sorites-like puzzle for factual beliefs in the standard Stalnakerian model [28] and show that it can be resolved by enriching the model to make use of probabilistic belief spaces. An analogous problem arises for metal...
متن کاملLinguistic Semantics and the Problem of Vagueness
One cannot ignore the impression, when going through the indexes of a sufficiently large number of relevant works in linguistics or language theory, that vagueness — other than, for instance, ambiguity — has in the majority of cases not yet gained the status of a keyword signalling a topic of current interest. This might seem rather a paradox considering the fact that modern linguistics, and it...

This paper engages with a specific problem concerning the relationship between descriptive and normative claims. Namely, if we understand that descriptive claims frequently contain normative assertions, and vice versa, how then do we interpret the traditionally rigid distinction that is made between the two, as ‘Hume’s law’ or Moore’s ‘naturalistic fallacy’ argument offered. In particular, Krip...
