It presents support for and challenges to current formal analyses of these phenomena in view of experimentally collected data, highlighting the ways semantic and pragmatic theory can benefit from experimental methodologies. The papers in the volume contribute to an explicit and detailed account of the use, representation, and online processing of gradable and vague expressions using various kinds of controlled speaker judgment tasks, eye tracking, and ERP. The aim is to strengthen the foundations of experimental semantics and promote interaction between linguists, psycholinguists, psychologists, and philosophers who are interested in the semantics of natural language. Using data representing different languages and a variety of nominal and adjectival constructions, including degree modification and comparatives, the contributions address scale-based classifications of gradable predicates, such as the absolute vs. relative distinction; the nature of the standards for applicability of gradable expressions and the ways in which standards are determined; the nature of dimensions and multidimensionality in the meaning of scalar expressions; and the role of embodiment, subjectivity, and sociolinguistic considerations in the use and understanding of gradable expressions. 410 0$aLanguage, Cognition, and Mind,$x2364-4109 ;$v4 606 $aSemantics 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aSemantics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N39000 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aPragmatics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N54000 606 $aPsycholinguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N35000 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 14$aSemantics. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aPragmatics. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics. 676 $a401.43 702 $aCastroviejo$b Elena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcNally$b Louise$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWeidman Sassoon$b Galit$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300589203321 996 $aThe Semantics of Gradability, Vagueness, and Scale Structure$91928007 997 $aUNINA
