Abstract
This article, which consists of three parts, mainly deals with the different realizations of semantic fuzziness. Some realizations indicate semantic fuzziness in their connotations, some in their denotations, some in abstract features, some in concrete features, some in quantity, and others in quality. The author thinks that it is quite necessary to classify the realizations of semantic fuzziness into different groups if we are to have a deeper understanding and better treatment of semantic fuzziness.
