초록
Twenty-three adult native speakers of Korean participated in an appropriateness judgment task involving pre-recorded utterances of exact and fuzzy number words. Our results indicate that the use or interpretation of a fuzzy number word is judged to be appropriate whenever the corresponding point value is anywhere inside the range bounded by the natural numbers constituting the fuzzy number word. Results also suggest that the use of a fuzzy number word might be considered more natural as an input in the form of a request or command than as an output in the form of an estimate.
