The interpretations of degree expressions need a separate category of entities because they cannot be represented by sets of individuals. Hence, some of the issues to be resolved here are what kind of entities are additionally needed for degree expressions and how these entities are structured. The present study addresses these issues, discussing the contrasted acceptability shown in negative modal questions with a degree expression. Two previous analyses are critically reviewed: Fox & Hackl (2006) and Abrusán & Spector (2010). Fox & Hackl postulate degrees while Abrusán & Spector suggest an analysis with intervals. I critically review each of the analyses and argue that vectors are more appropriate entities to provide necessary interpretations for negative modal questions with a degree expression.
