Abstract
In this paper, we present a new model dealing with affirmative or negative information. We propose a formalization of negation in the context of fuzzy set theory grounded on a compatibility level and tolerance threshold to render nuanced strength values of modified properties in the scope of a linguistic negation. Their combination allows us to choose the reference frame from which the possible values of a linguistic negation of A appearing in the statement “x is not A” will be extracted. The plausible interpretations of denied properties are obtained as the result of the different scoping of the negation operator. Moreover, a choice strategy computes, if needed, an intended meaning of each linguistic negation.
