 Instead of tropes, degrees have been used widely as implicit arguments of adjectives (Kennedy 2007; Wellwood 2015). Other implicit arguments proposed in the literature are implicit location arguments for weather predicates (it is raining) (Perry 1986) and implicit taste parameters for predicates of personal taste (Stephenson 2007). Implicit arguments are posited when expressions appear to act as predicates targeting entities for which there are no overt NPs in the syntactic context.
