Linguistic studies in the past give detailed analyses of the word, but do not seem to grasp a cognitive picture of its semantic whole. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the senses of this quantifier are radially structured. It is assumed that the core sense of some is "not a few/little or not many/much, but an unspecified number or amount between them; the number/amount that some refers to is sometimes fairly large and sometimes fairly small depending on the context." It is argued that from this core sense other senses are extended., Traditional dictionaries provide various senses of the quantifier some, but do not show their interconnection.
