Linguistic variables and hedges
At the root of fuzzy set theory lies the idea of
linguistic variables.
A linguistic variable is a fuzzy variable. For
example, the statement “John is tall” implies that
the linguistic variable John takes the linguistic value
tall.
14
In fuzzy expert systems, linguistic variables are used
in fuzzy rules. For example:
IF wind is strong
THEN sailing is good
IF project_duration is long
THEN completion_risk is high
IF speed is slow
THEN stopping_distance is short
15
The range of possible values of a linguistic variable
represents the universe of discourse of that variable.
For example, the universe of discourse of the
linguistic variable speed might have the range
between 0 and 220 km/h and may include such
fuzzy subsets as very slow, slow, medium, fast, and
very fast.
A linguistic variable carries with it the concept
of fuzzy set qualifiers, called hedges.
Hedges are terms that modify the shape of fuzzy
sets. They include adverbs such as very,
somewhat, quite, more or less and slightly.
