Vagueness: A Conceptual Spaces Approach
The conceptual spaces approach has recently emerged as a novel account of concepts. Its guiding idea is that concepts can be represented geometrically, by means of metrical spaces. While it is generally recognized that many of our concepts are vague, the question of how to model vagueness in the conceptual spaces approach has not been addressed so far, even though the answer is far from straigh...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic as a Theory of Vagueness: 15 Conceptual Questions
In spite of its successes as a tool in the field of engineering, fuzzy set theory has yet to achieve the universal footing that probability theory has across the various fields of mathematics, technology, philosophy and psychology. This paper sets out points of critique brought up regarding the fuzzy approach and seeks to analyze them, focusing on the question of whether anything that can be do...

Hartry Field has recently taken the view that there is no reasonable prospect of giving an account of the truth-conditions for indefiniteness statements of the form ⌐it is indefinite whether P¬ (or alternatively ⌐it is borderline whether P¬) .

Firstly, we analyze the semantic pole of multi-facets items so as to elaborate a conceptual modelling within the framework of Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar. Secondly, we suggest that the representation...
