Abstract
Abstract The present study, so far, has focused exclusively on vague predicates such as ‘bald’, ‘tall’, and predicates such as ‘determinately bald’ and ‘borderline bald‘. Intuitively, what makes a predicate vague is that there is some indeterminacy over whether it applies to some objects: vague predicates have borderline cases. Some aggregates of sand are borderline heaps, some potential NBA players are borderline tall (for an NBA player), some men are borderline bald, and perhaps some men are borderline-borderline bald. At least prima facie, there also seem to be vague objects. This chapter looks at some variations on this theme, and then extends the model theory to handle them.
