LINGUISTIC VARIABLE

 Let x be a linguistic variable with the label “speed”.


 Terms of x, which are fuzzy sets, could be “positive low”, “negative
high” from the term set T:

T = {PostiveHigh, PositiveLow, NegativeLow,


NegativeHigh, Zero}

 Each term is a fuzzy variable defined on the base variable which


might be the scale of all relevant velocities.
