Narrative with incomplete or imprecise description
Vague language is a choice of narrative in which the degree of accuracy, certainty, or clarity in a description of a situation or thing is less than it may be possible.[1]
A thorough treatment of vague language, including placeholder words, was provided by Joanna Channell.[2] In particular, she demonstrates that dictionaries often provide inadequate definitions and explanations of vague lexical items.[3]
