Vagueness as probabilistic linguistic knowledge [PDF]
, 2011 Consideration of the metalinguistic effects of utterances involving vague terms has led Barker [1] to treat vagueness using a modified Stalnakerian model of assertion. I present a sorites-like puzzle for factual beliefs in the standard Stalnakerian model [28] and show that it can be resolved by enriching the model to make use of probabilistic belief ...

Avoiding predicate whiplash: social choice theory and linguistic vagueness
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2012 Vagueness effects predictably occur in predicates that aggregate judgments along a number of different criteria. With these types of aggregations, small changes along one of the criteria can lead to big changes in the outcome of the aggregation procedure. Vagueness results from avoiding this ‘whiplash’ effect.

Modelling linguistic vagueness and uncertainty in historical texts
Proceedings of the Workshop on Language Technology for Digital Historical Archives - with a Special Focus on Central-, (South-)Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, 2019 Many applications in Digital Humanities (DH) rely on annotations of the raw material. These annotations (inferred automatically or done manually) assume that labelled facts are either true or false, thus all inferences started on such annotations us boolean logic.

A Hybrid Approach of Interval Neutrosophic Vague Sets and DEMATEL with New Linguistic Variable [PDF]
Symmetry, 2020 Nowadays, real world problems are complicated because they deal with uncertainty and incomplete information. Obviously, such problems cannot be solved by a single technique because of the multiple perspectives that may arise. Currently, the combination of DEMATEL and the neutrosophic environment are still new and not fully explored. Previous studies of

Different or the Same? Determination of Discriminatory Power Threshold and Category Formation for Vague Linguistic Frequency Expressions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 In psychological research, many questionnaires use verbal response scales with vague linguistic terms (e.g., frequency expressions). The words' meanings can be formalized and evaluated using fuzzy membership functions (MFs), which allow constructing distinct and equidistant response scales.
