Dear list members,

A fair amount of research has been carried out on expressions of binary opposites in language, but, as far as I know, very little has been carried out on expressions of intermediate meanings, i.e. form-meaning pairings related to the in-between zone, irrespective of whether this zone is a point/boundary or a range. I am curious to know if I have missed something important that might have been done on intermediates in English or any other language.

With best wishes,
Carita Paradis
