We introduce a model for the linguistic hedges `very' and `quite' within thelabel semantics framework, and combined with the prototype and conceptualspaces theories of concepts. The proposed model emerges naturally from therepresentational framework we use and as such, has a clear semantic grounding.We give generalisations of these hedge models and show that they can becomposed with themselves and with other functions, going on to examine theirbehaviour in the limit of composition.
