Abstract

In this paper, we present a Pragmatic Model dealing with Linguistic Negation in Knowledge-Based Systems. It can be viewed as a Generalization of Linguistic Approach to Negative Information within a Fuzzy Context. We define the Linguistic Negation with the aid of a Similarity Relation between Nuanced Properties. We propose a Choice Strategy allowing the User to explain the intended Meaning of Linguistic Negations. This Model improves the abilities in Management of a Knowledge Base, since Information can refer to Linguistic Negations either in Facts or in Rules.
