Gradience is the idea that grammaticality is more than a binary notion, whereby a string simply belongs to a language or not. Indeed, when applied to the study of natural language, grammaticality may be presented as a gradient notion, whereby even an ill-formed utterance still "more or less" belongs to the language.

What I'm interested in is to come up with a formal model where accounting for such a degree of grammaticality of an utterance is made possible.

I'd like to present and discuss a couple of ideas that I have in this regard, and also where I am in the process of specifying such a model.
