In our characterisation of the context-sensitivity of vague gradable adjectives in Section 4.1, we have focused on their dependence on general comparison classes corresponding to types of entities (such as Human, Woman, etc) with expected properties such as height.
in contrast to DeVault and Stone (2004), who focus on the local context of discourse, we have focused on what could be called the global context (an agent's experience regarding types of entities and their expected properties).
