A Foundation for Computing with Words: Meta-Linguistic Axioms

As a foundation for Computing With Words, meta-linguistic axioms are proposed in analogy to the axioms of classical theory. Consequences of these meta-linguistic expressions are explored in the light of Interval-valued Type 2 Fuzzy Sets. This once again demonstrates that fuzzy set theories and hence CWW have a richer and more expressive power that classical theory.
