Fuzziness construed in language: a linguistic perspective

摘要

I suggested that all experience can be construed as meaning organized into networks of classes. This includes our experience of the abstract relation of classification-the relation of being a member of a class. Class-membership is itself construed as a class in the network of classes; more specifically, it is construed by the intersection of 'intensive' and 'ascriptive' in the system network. In conclusion, I identify one of the ways my discussion has been restricted: I have focused an language as a resource for construing experience since the point of departure was Zadeh's remarks about human thought. 'Construing experience' is one of the three generalized functions of language the ideational function. The other two are the interpersonal and textual functions, and both of these are also inherently fuzzy.
