I'd say the 5th if the term is used up until Wednesday, then debateable Thursday and Friday and the 12th from Saturday onwards.

I can't see that option on the poll

The next Sunday is this Sunday the 5th. Sunday week is Sunday 12th. Really people get a grip.

next
adjective: immediately following in time, order, importance, etc.

Next topic.

Given the confusion (for some) has anyone turned up a week early for an event when told its next Sunday

That would be ridiculous.

Happy to meet you at the Amex on Sunday after the match to discuss it further though.

Which is the day after next Friday. Which is the day after next Thursday. Which is the day after next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday can't be today, it's clearly the 8th of May, so there we have it - next Sunday has to be the 12th of May.

Absolutely.

No one can say 'Next Sunday' today and know whether the other person is thinking the 5th or 12th.

"Last Sunday" is the one just gone
"This Sunday" is the first one after today
"Next Sunday" is the one following This Sunday.

Indeed.

In practice, if I wanted to refer to Sunday the 12th today, I'd usually say a week Sunday. I'd refer to Sunday the 5th as this Sunday (obviously). But as we get closer to this Sunday, I'd stop calling Sunday the 12th 'a week Sunday' and call it 'next Sunday'.

I was at the front of a queue once and the guy behind the counter shouted " next " and the person behind me stepped forward to be served.

Next Tuesday can't be today, it's clearly the 8th of May, so there we have it - next Sunday has to be the 12th of May.

Next Tuesday is the 7th.

This. I checked the day the OP was posted and made my decision. It's only Tuesday so next Sunday is the coming Sunday. Simples

While I'm in agreement that terms have a different meaning depending on when you say them, you shouldn't be saying 'next Sunday' on Monday, and meaning the 5th - that's just daft. You'd just say 'see you Sunday'.

There is no argument here whatsoever. If someone says "meet you next Sunday", and the other person doesn't understand, then you will have to clarify by saying;

"this Sunday coming" or " the Sunday after". The use of "next" in the above statement is wrong.

To avoid any obfuscation, the correct nomenclature for the original statement should be either "meet you this Sunday" or "meet you Sunday week". It's all in the way we speak, people. The words are there to avoid confusion, and the English language is a beautiful thing. Use it properly.
