New preprint: In Ukrainian, several approximating devices can stack on a single numeral, and the result conveys the same interval as one device alone. I argue that a numeral introduces the resolutions it can be read at, and that approximators operate on that set the way indefinites and definites do.
Restricting resolutions: effect-driven semantics of numerical approximation
Approximators such as *approximately* or *exactly* have been analyzed either as operators that manipulate a numeral's denotation, or as devices that select a granularity level at which the numeral is
