Abstract

Degree words in natural language, such as 'often' and 'sometimes,' do not have denotations in the real world. This causes some interesting characteristics for degree words. For example, the correspondence between the English word 'often' and the intnitively corresponding Japanese word is not obvious. This paper proposes a conceptual representation to describe a wide range of linguistic phenomena which are related to degree concepts in natural language.
