<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">Precision and approximation are two notions fundamental to research in natural and
exact sciences (Bennett, 1987). Precision refers, <i class="">grosso modo</i>, to the consistency of results, while approximation refers to the representation of things in ways that might be close to the truth. Exact sciences also distinguish between precision
and accuracy: if the first is interested in how <span style="" class="">reproducible measurements are, the second raises the question of
</span>how close a measurement is to a known or true value. But these notions are no less essential to linguistic analysis. In language, whereas the difference between precision and approximation is usually intuitively and easily discernible, the difference
between precision and accuracy is often blurred or neutralized (Bat-Zeev Shyldkrot, Adler, Asnes 2014, 2016). Thus, in many languages, the terms “precise” and “accurate” will be perceived as synonyms in contexts such as
<i class="">the measurements are precise</i>/<i class="">accurate</i>. Precision and approximation are key concepts in the study of many linguistic phenomena, among them, quantifiers (e.g.
<i class="">some</i>/ <i class="">many students participated in the demonstrations.

than the whole sky/ You were more than just a short time”. See: Bolinger, 1972; Doetjes, 1997; Carston, 1998; Schwarzschild & Wilkinson, 2002; Whittaker, 2002; Doetjes, 2004; Kennedy and McNally, 2005; Ariel, 2003, 2006; Geurts & Nouwen, 2007; Mihatsch 2010;
Kennedy 2011). Furthermore, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);" class="">Lakoff (1973) and Wierzbicka (1986) have demonstrated the extent to which precision and
approximation are essential for the understanding of </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">discourse markers – often reflecting subjectivity. Precision and approximation also prove
to be challenging when they interact with temporal, spatial or other abstract concepts such as perceptions (e.g.
<i class="">around the yard/ around seven o’clock/ gifts around 50$</i>. See: Juker, Smith & Ludge, 2003; Panizza, Chierchia & Clifton, 2009). We propose that approximation and precision provide an appropriate framework for the understanding of an array of
phenomena usually examined under dissociated <a name="Research_program_and_figures_" class="">
