	abstract = {We cannot definitely determine precise boundaries of application of vague terms like {\textquotedblleft}tall{\textquotedblright}. Since it is only a height of a person that determines whether that person is tall or not, we can count {\textquotedblleft}tall{\textquotedblright} as an example of a linear vague term. That means that all objects in a range of significance of {\textquotedblleft}tall{\textquotedblright} can be linearly ordered. Linear vague terms can be used to formulate three basic versions of the sorites paradox {\textendash} the conditional sorites, the mathematical induction sorites, and the line-drawing sorites. In this paper I would like to explore a possibility of formulating sorites paradoxes with so called multi-dimensional and combinatory vague terms {\textendash} terms for which it is impossible to create a linear ordering of all objects in their range of significance. Therefore, I will show which adjustments must be made and which simplifications we must accede to in order to formulate any version of the sorites paradox with multi-dimensional or combinatory vague terms. I will also show that only the conditional version of the sorites paradox can be construed with all three kinds of vague terms.},
