Description

Vague Language, Elasticity Theory and the Use of Some by Nguyet Nhu Le and Grace Qiao Zhang offers the first comprehensive analysis of the word some and its semantic elasticity across educational contexts. This comparative study examines how some functions simultaneously as both quantifier and qualifier, shifting between positive and negative meanings whilst carrying both local and global interpretations. The authors reveal that some operates across a meaning continuum, enabling speakers to express approximation, uncertainty, politeness, and evasion with precision. Published by Bloomsbury Academic, this linguistic research demonstrates how the functions of some are multi-directional and non-categorical, providing essential insights for linguists, educators, and language researchers studying English grammar and pragmatics in L1 and L2 acquisition.
