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 UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-18446-8 ER -
