Hello,

I was wondering how I should diagram ambiguous phrases like "a large amount" and "a significant amount" and "often". Are these "some" or "more"?

Thank you!

Hi Lsat2016,

Can you give an example or two of what your talking about?

Absent any other information, though, "a significant amount" and "often" would just fall under 'some.'

For instance, if we said "The dude often abides," that does not tell us much. How frequently does he abide, exactly? More than once a week? More often than the average person? All the time? We don't know. We do know that he abides some; that is all we can say.
