We shall focus on the more challenging case where the output of the generator is less precise than the input , as is the case in FOG and DYD . This can be a hazardous affair , since vague expressions tend to be interpreted in different ways by different people ( Toogood 1980 ) , sometimes in stark contrast with the intention of the speaker/writer ( Berry , Knapp , and Raynor 2002 ) . We shall therefore focus -- unlike earlier computational accounts -- on vague descriptions , that is , vague expressions in definite descriptions .
