Argues that gradable adjectives -- like bright, dense, and short --
denote measure functions, that is functions from objects to
abstract representations of measurement, or scales and degrees.
Shows how that notion can provide a foundation for principled
explanations of a wide range of syntactic and semantic properties
of gradable adjectives and the constructions in which they appear,
ranging from the syntactic distribution of gradable adjectives to
the scopal characteristics of comparatives, and the empirical
effects of adjectival polarity.
