Abstract: International audience ; This chapter, written in honor of Stephanie Solt, briefly reports on the reasons to adopt a weak parametric semantics for approximators like ``around''. I review Solt's own account and discuss evidence in favor of more flexibility in the truth-conditions of ``around'' than suggested by her account. I present the truth conditions proposed in recent joint work with B. Spector, A. Mortier, and S. Verheyen, and explain how they were derived from a previous sketch in which ``around'' is characterized in terms of existential quantification over intervals. This quantificational structure remains worthy of consideration.
