Scenario
Lisa has brown hair. She is a big fan of Katy Perry and dyes her hair blue. If she now says her hair is blue, she speaks the truth.
Her friend Mary is a biologist and studies hair. She calls Lisa to be a participant in her study on naturally blue hair. When Lisa now says she has blue hair and can participate in the study, she speaks falsehood.
Summary of Kennedy & McNally text
Explanatory Video
Test your general knowledge
1. What does matter? (write on a sheet of paper and compare)
Check your answer
Relative degrees of some objective manifestation of color, e.g. hue, saturation, brightness.
2. What does C stand for and where does it belong to? (write on a sheet of paper and compare)
Check your answer
Comparison class; quality gradability.
3. What does P stand for and where does it belong to? (write on a sheet of paper and compare)
Check your answer
Variable that picks out part of x; quantity gradability.
