TL;DR
Some operational laws of linguistic variables are introduced and some linguistic preference relations are defined such as incomplete linguistic preference relation and improved linguistic preferences relation, etc.
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce some operational laws of linguistic variables and define some linguistic preference relations such as incomplete linguistic preference relation and improved linguistic preference relation, etc. We then utilize the extended arithmetic averaging (EAA) operator and the extended weighted arithmetic averaging (EWAA) operator to develop an approach to group decision making based on incomplete linguistic preference relations. Finally, we give an illustrative example to verify the developed approach.

International Journal of Intelligent SystemsAn overview of operators for aggregating information
759 Citations2003Zhiping Xu, Q. L. Da
This work first makes a survey of the existing main aggregation operators and then proposes some new aggregation operators such as the induced ordered weighted geometric averaging (IOWGA) operator, generalized inducedordered weighted averaging (GIOWA), hybrid weighted averaged (HWA), etc., and briefly classify all of these aggregation operators.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsGroup decision making with a fuzzy linguistic majority

Using the fuzzy majority rule specified by a fuzzy linguistic quantifier, a calculus of linguistically quantified propositions is applied and various solution concepts are derived, mainly of the type of core, minimax (opposition) set and consensus winner.
Information SciencesA sequential selection process in group decision making with a linguistic assessment approach
630 Citations1995Francisco Herrera
A sequential selection process in group decision making under linguistic assessments is presented, where a set of linguistic preference relations represents individuals preferences and a collective linguistic preference is obtained by means of a defined linguistic ordered weighted averaging operator.

A new consensus model for the consensus reaching process, in a linguistic framework, is presented in heterogeneous group decision making problems, called rational consensus model, which allows more rational consensus solutions to be obtained and thus, more human consistency to be incorporated in decision support systems.

This paper proposes improvements to pairwise group decision making based on fuzzy preference relations in three ways: it extends the fuzzy preference relation representation using linguistic labels, modifies the computational procedures by using fuzzy sets representation and computation, and avoids the use of strict threshold values.
International Journal of Intelligent SystemsNegation functions based semantics for ordered linguistic labels
137 Citations1998Vicenç Torra
After arguing that in the knowledge acquisition framework experts cannot always supply a precise semantics for the linguistic labels they use, it is shown that negation functions over an ordered set of linguistics labels induce a semantics.

This work considers the semantics based on the existence of an antonym (or a set of them) for each element in the domain, equivalent to a semanticsbased on negation functions.
