A veces, los hablantes de la lengua hacen lecturas intervalares como «al menos» o «cuando mucho». Por ello, este fenómeno ha capturado la atención de diversos estudiosos y ha generado un gran debate tanto a nivel teórico como empírico. La investigación que aquí se presenta tuvo como objetivo estudiar experimentalmente el nivel de aceptación de lecturas intervalares cuando el término numérico es antecedido por un artículo definido, cuando tiene función semántica de predicado o cuantificador, y cuando se encuentra bajo el alcance de algún operador modal epistémico o deóntico. Los resultados sugieren que en ausencia de un contexto pragmático que sesgue hacia las interpretaciones intervalares, estas tienen un bajo nivel de aceptación. Sin embargo, en contextos modales epistémicos y deónticos débiles sí existe una aceptación de las lecturas acotadas superiormente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Number terms do not always receive exact interpretations when used as part of linguistic exchanges. Sometimes speakers derive intervalar readings as «at least» or «at most». That is why this phenomenon has captured the attention of a vast number of scholars who have contributed to a debate that has touched both theoretical and empirical grounds. This experimental research aimed to study the level of acceptance of the intervalar readings that a number term can receive when it is preceded by a definite article, when it has a semantic function of either predicate or quantifier, and when it is under the scope of epistemic or deontic modal operators. The results suggest that in the absence of a pragmatic context biasing towards intervalar interpretations of number terms, those have a low degree of acceptance. However, in weak epistemic and deontic modal contexts, there seems to be an acceptance of upper-bounded interpretations.]]></p></abstract>
