Abstract

Vagueness is a ubiquitous feature that we know from many expressions in natural languages. It can invite a serious problem: the Sorites Paradox. The aim of this paper is to proposed a new version of complete logic for vague predicates - salient-similarity-based vague predicate logic (SVPL) that can avoid the Sorites Paradox and give answers to all of the Semantic Question, the Epistemological Question and the Psychological Question given by Graff.
