ible choices. And he elaborateshis adaptation theory from four dimensions, namely, Context Correlates ofAdaptation, Structural Objects of Adaptability，Dynamics of Adaptability andSalience of Adaptation.

Chapter One Literature Review

1.1 Previous Research on Fuzziness
1.1.1 Research on Fuzziness Abroad
The emergence of fuzzy theory has generally been attributed to L.A Zadeh(1965) , but he is not the first person who noticed fuzziness. The first scholarwho paid attention to the fuzzy phenomenon of language might be Greekphilosopher Eubulides. the representative of Megan an School, who proposedSorties Paradox in the 4th century BC. But as the influence of classical two-valuedlogic which based on Aristotle's law of excluded middle, according to which thereare only two states, namely "true" and ”false”，and any proposition must be eithertrue or false. People of that age cannot give a reasonable explanation to fuzzyphenomenon of language. And in the next 2000 years, the fuzziness of naturallanguage had been generally neglected. The classical view, represented by Plato,Goethe and Nietzsche, took language fuzziness as the defect of natural language(Fang Wei, 2005).
Among the many researches on fuzziness，the research of Charles SandersPierce, Bermad Russell and Ullxnann have attracted much attention.Peirce gives his definition of vagueness: "a proposition is vague when thereare possible states of things concerning which it is intrinsically uncertain whether,had they been contemplated by the speaker, he would have regarded them asexcluded or allowed by the proposition By intrinsically uncertain we mean not uncertain in consequence of any ignorance of the interpreter, but because thespeaker's habits of language we indeterminate; that one day he would regard theproposition as excluding, another as admitting, those states of things. Yet this mustbe understood to have reference to what might be deduced from a perfectknowledge of his state of mind; for it is precisely because these questions neverdid, or did not frequently, present them that his habit remained indeterminate.”(Peirce, 1902: 748)
