An APL-implemented auxiliary language is presented which makes such analysis operational with regard to humanistic systems where the variables cannot easily be numerically measured.
Abstract
The concept of quantitative analysis with linguistic values is set out and discussed. An APL-implemented auxiliary language is presented which makes such analysis operational with regard to humanistic systems where the variables cannot easily be numerically measured. Special emphasis is placed on linguistic approximation which is implemented by an APL-function of 19 statements with a range of approximately 1010 linguistic values. Examples of the linguistic input-linguistic output characteristics of the language are shown.

Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

7,280 Citations1999Lotfi A. Zadeh
The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

The nonrestricted nonfuzzy variable u constitutes the base variable for X and R(X;u) is a fuzzy subset of U which represents a fuzzy restriction on the values of u imposed by X.
Journal of CyberneticsA Fuzzy-Set-Theoretic Interpretation of Linguistic Hedges
1,022 Citations1972L. A. Zadeh
A basic idea suggested in this paper is that a linguistic hedge such as very, more or less, much, essentially, etc. may be viewed as an operator which acts on the fuzzy set representing the meaning of its operand.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesAdvances in the linguistic synthesis of fuzzy controllers
952 Citations1976E.H. Mamdani
It is proposed that adaptive techniques in linguistic controllers currently being studied may provide a useful possible approach to the use of fuzzy logic in the synthesis of controllers for dynamic plants.
A programming language
895 Citations1962Kenneth E. Iverson
The paper describes a succinct problem-oriented programming language that relies heavily on a systematic extension of a small set of basic operations to vectors, matrices, and trees, and on a family of flexible selection operations controlled by logical vectors.

The results of the experiments indicate that neither the product nor the minimum fit the data sufficiently well, but the latter seems to be preferable.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesDeductive verbal models of organizations
115 Citations1976Fred Wenstøp
It is generally concluded that the present approach towards modelling the behavior of complex organizations is not without interesting potentialities, and that verbal models may, under certain circumstances, be superior to corresponding conventional simulation models.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsThe algebra of fuzzy logic
15 Citations1978Peter J. Albert
As will be proved, this algebra is not a lattice and consequently the Zadeh definitions do not constitute an adequate representation, and a new system of symbols is proposed in this paper.
