Vagueness in Communication: International Workshop, ViC 2009, Held as Part of ESSLLI 2009, Bordeaux, France, July 20-24, 2009, Revised Selected Papers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783642184451)

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Workshop on Vagueness in Communication, VIC 2009, held as part of ESSLLI 2009, in Bordeaux, France, July 20-24, 2009. The 11 contributions presented shed a light on new aspects in the area of vagueness in natural language communication. In contrast to the classical instruments of dealing with vagueness - like multi-valued logics, truth value gaps or gluts, or supervaluations - this volume presents new approaches like context-sensitivity of vagueness, the sharpening of vague predicates in context, and the modeling of precision levels.
