Abstract

The introduction of linguistic quantifiers has provided an important tool to model a large number of issues in intelligent systems. Ying [M.S. Ying, Linguistic quantifiers modeled by Sugeno integrals, Artificial Intelligence 170 (2006) 581-606] recently introduced a new framework for modeling quantifiers in natural languages in which each linguistic quantifier is represented by a family of fuzzy measures, and the truth value of a quantified proposition is evaluated by using Sugeno's integral. Representing linguistic quantifiers by fuzzy measures, this paper evaluates linguistic quantified propositions by the Choquet integral. Some elegant logical properties of linguistic quantifiers are derived within this approach, including a prenex normal form theorem stronger than that in Ying's model. In addition, our Choquet integral approach to the evaluation of quantified statements is compared with others, in particular with Ying's Sugeno integral approach.
