When nouns are placed in a noun-noun compound, (e.g. CRIMINAL LAWYER) different strategies can be used in English to arrive at a semantic interpretation. I will discuss some of the processes involved, and the effects of stress. The second part of my talk will examine how people interpret logical connectives when applied to vague semantic categories such as Vehicle or Fruit. Finally I will present some new data looking at how people judge a conjunction of two vague predicates, as in "These sunglasses are large and dark" where both size and shade of a set of sunglasses are distributed around a vague boundary.

Series Description ------------------ The IAOA [4] has created ESAO [1], an educational effort directed towards topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and foundations. The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology (ISAO) [5] (for the next ISAO edition during July 10-14, 2023, please see [6] - ! EARLY REGISTRATION for ISAO 2023 closes on June 11 (EDT) !). ESAO is complementary in format and its overall approach. The goal is to provide a combination of an archive of educational material (e.g., short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and discussing that material.
