Abstract

After arguing that in the knowledge acquisition framework experts cannot always supply a precise semantics for the linguistic labels they use, we show that negation functions over an ordered set of linguistics labels induce a semantics. We study the semantics induced by classical negation, functions from L to L, and also the one induced by negation functions from L to parts of L. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
