Read The Semantics of Gradability, Vagueness, and Scale Structure : Experimental Perspectives. Keywords: gradability; scale structure; part structure; event structure. 1 Scalar is half. This type of ambiguity is pervasive among gradable adjectives (Kennedy. scale structure is one where distances between scale points are meaningful, and notion of degree, if any, underlies the semantics of gradable adjectives in 3 we present the results of two experiments where we asked subjects to do just fail to capture the vagueness of gradable adjectives, which manifests itself in the.
