HIGHLIGHTS
- who: ANDREA BELTRAMA and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania, USA have published the research work: Context, precision, and social perception: A sociopragmatic study, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: In two perception experiments the authors explore the social indexicality of numerical expressions comparing the evaluation of three variants: precise (e_g u2018fortynine minutes`) vs. explicitly approximate (e_g u2018about fifty minutes`) vs. underspecified (e_g u2018fifty minutes`). The authors aim to shed light on this issue by focusing on the phenomenon of_(im)precision, the level of granularity that a speaker resorts to when reporting a numerical value . . .
