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

- [ex 001 "We ran [p en/for Extent] miles."]

- [ex 002 "The price shot up [p en/by Extent] 10%."]

- [ex 003 "an increase [p en/of Extent--Identity] 10% ([ss Extent--Identity])"]

For static distance measurements, see [ss Direction].

For scalar [p en/as] (see [[Comparatives and Superlatives]]), [ss Extent] serves as the function (and sometimes also the role):

- [ex 004 "I helped [p en/as Extent] much as I could. ([ss Extent])"]

- [ex 005 "Your face is [p en/as Characteristic--Extent] red as a rose. ([ss Characteristic--Extent])"]

- [ex 006 "I stayed [p en/as Duration--Extent] long as I could. ([ss Duration--Extent])"]

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

- [ex 007 "I’m not tired [p en/at Extent]\_all."]

- [ex 008 "The food is mediocre [p en/at Extent]\_best."]

- [ex 009 "You should [p en/at Extent]\_least try."]

- [ex 010 "It is the worst [p en/by Extent]\_far."]

- [ex 011 "We’ve finished [p en/for Extent]\_the_most_part."]

- [ex 012 "It was a success <u>[p en/in Extent]\_every_respect</u>/<u>[p en/on Extent]\_all_levels</u>."]

- [ex 013 "I hate it when they repeat a song [p en/to Extent]\_death."]

Typically these are licensed by a verb or adjective.
