 This multiplicity of application is said to be reflected in the predicate’s semantics in the form of multiple ranges of application. A range of application is just an abstract representation, in the semantics, of a permissible way of applying the predicate. More formally: a range is a set of values (e.g., ages) to whose instantiations the predicate can competently be applied. In a series from 90 to 50, one range of application of ‘old’ might contain the ages 90–70, another 90–65, another 90–63.5, and so forth; and the ages (e.g., 90–70) in those various ranges will be instantiated by different people at different worlds.
