This can be the physical distance traversed or the amount of change on a scale:

• We ran for miles. 001

• The price shot up by 10%. 002

• an increase of 10% (Extent↝Identity) 003

For static distance measurements, see Direction.

For scalar as (see Comparatives and Superlatives), Extent serves as the function (and sometimes also the role):

• I helped as much as I could. (Extent) 004

• Your face is as red as a rose. (Characteristic↝Extent) 005

• I stayed as long as I could. (Duration↝Extent) 006

Extent also covers degree expressions, such as the following PP idioms:

• I’m not tired at_all. 007

• The food is mediocre at_best. 008

• You should at_least try. 009

• It is the worst by_far. 010

• We’ve finished for_the_most_part. 011

• It was a success in_every_respect/on_all_levels. 012

• I hate it when they repeat a song to_death. 013

Typically these are licensed by a verb or adjective.
