Mass nouns, vagueness and semantic variation
The mass/count distinction attracts a lot of attention among cognitive scientists, possibly because it involves in fundamental ways the relation between language (i.e. grammar), thought (i.e. extralinguistic conceptual systems) and reality (i.e. the physical world). In the present paper, I explore the view that the mass/count distinction is a matter of vagueness. While every noun/concept may in...
متن کاملAtomic Mass Nouns: Unity, Plurality and Semantic Flexibility*
Atomic mass nouns share morphosyntactic properties with prototypical mass nouns. At the same time, the former semantically deviate from the latter. Based on re-examined empirical data, I propose that the semantics of atomic mass nouns is flexible. Particularly, a semantic shift occurs when the default interpretation of an atomic mass noun results in implausible interpretation or ungrammaticality.
متن کاملCount Nouns – Mass Nouns Neat Nouns – Mess Nouns
In this paper I propose and formalize a theory of the mass-count distinction in which the denotations of count nouns are built from non-overlapping generators, while the denotations of mass nouns are built from overlapping generators. Counting is counting of generators, and it will follow that counting is only correct on count denotations. I will show that the theory allows two kinds of mass no...
متن کاملSemantic Vagueness and Context-dependence
A new solution is offered for the ancient ’sorites’ paradox of vagueness. The sorites paradox arises if it is assumed that if two objects are indistinguishable, then a vague predicate (e.g., large, or small) can never distinguish between them. The proposed solution to the paradox depends on a systematic ambiguity that is displayed by vague predicates as well as vague relations (e.g., the relati...
متن کاملVagueness, Semantic Representation and Verification
This paper claims that the vagueness inherent in gradable adjectives is a reflection of an independently-motivated, underlying measurement mechanism, called the analog magnitude system (AMS). The AMS is a language external system that can be called on to help verify sentences. Differences between positive forms of gradable adjectives like tall (1) and their comparative forms (2), in terms of va...
