Abstract

This research deals with the study of the vague language, a concept related to general and indeterminacy that has been proven to be one of the requirements for successful communication, and not a flaw in it, and that is with some linguistic tools such as approximately preceding numbers such as: (about twenty) As well as Vague words; Which appear in and of themselves vague on the whole; Such as (something), Vague implication; Example: (between, 30-40) There is more than one pragmatics approach to the study of vagueness , from which I chose Grace's theory of conversation implicature to apply pragmatics solutions to the phenomenon, because vagueness language does not exist without there is a violation of one or more of Grace's principles.
