Linguistically, it enters i nto the meaning of a wide range of expressions. Th e best-known case in degree semantics may well be the gradable adjective (tall, short, likely, good ), but crosscategorially many other cases have bee n detected and analysed in similar scalar terms. L NAT4 seeks to consider (i) the nature and variatio n of scalarity in language and logic, (ii) the dia grams proposed for scalar notions, as well as (iii ) the nature of possible connections between logic o-linguistic scalar concepts and perception scales . Invited Speakers: Christopher Kennedy (Universi ty of Chicago) and Stefanie Solt (Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS). We welcome p apers on any of the conference topics. Abstracts s hould be in PDF-format, anonymous, at most one pag e long, and should include any example sentences. A second page may be added for bibliographical ref erences only.
