Definition of "next"

I have a friend who recently told me she will be visiting me "next fall".

I wonder if she meant this year or next year in fall.

Since 'this fall' is so near, but could still be considered 'next fall' by some people, you will just have to ask her. This kind of statement is a common subject of conversational negotiation.
