This paper deals with ambiguity, subjectivity and vagueness in Language Assessment (LA) within the theoretical framework of fuzzy logic (see Zadeh [1965], Williamson [1994], Dietz - Moruzzi [2009], Moruzzi [2012]). The focus is on a particular moment of the LA process, the attribution of value (a score, a judgment or a grade) [Domenici 2002]. The paper tries to answer two main questions: under which conditions do subjectivity and vagueness not compromise the reliability of the evaluation process when scoring and, above all, certifying the achievement of a competence level? To what extent is the dialogue with subjectivity – now widely acknowledged in all reflections on docimology (especially in the Italian context see Bezzi [2014]) – represented in significant areas of language testing?

Abstract
This paper deals with ambiguity, subjectivity and vagueness in Language Assessment (LA) within the theoretical framework of fuzzy logic (see Zadeh [1965], Williamson [1994], Dietz - Moruzzi [2009], Moruzzi [2012]). The focus is on a particular moment of the LA process, the attribution of value (a score, a judgment or a grade) [Domenici 2002]. The paper tries to answer two main questions: under which conditions do subjectivity and vagueness not compromise the reliability of the evaluation process when scoring and, above all, certifying the achievement of a competence level? To what extent is the dialogue with subjectivity – now widely acknowledged in all reflections on docimology (especially in the Italian context see Bezzi [2014]) – represented in significant areas of language testing?File | Dimensione | Formato | |
