Vagueness in Context
Shapiro, Stewart (Ohio State University and University of St Andrews)
Aims to develop a comprehensive account of the meaning, function, and logic of vague terms in an idealized version of a natural language, such as English. This book shows that the extensions of vague terms vary in the course of conversations and that a competent speaker can go either way without sinning against the meaning of the words.
