Building on Pasternak&#8217;s analysis of how &#8220;percent&#8221; works in cases with closed-scale gradable adjectives like &#8220;30% full&#8221;, Coppock proposes a type shift that applies to a predicate like &#8220;acid&#8221; and yields a gradable predicate that tracks parthood of the subject. A small tweak needs to be made to the lexical entry for &#8220;percent&#8221;, too. Then there are some interesting cumulative-like uses, which Coppock analyzes in a dynamic framework that also helps to avoid the need for weird compositional mechanisms in the basic cases.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Coppock&#8217;s contribution to a special volume of Glossa on &#8220;non-conservativity with precise proportions&#8221; edited by Uli Sauerland and Robert Pasternak is now out!
