Abstract

An application of the linguistic modelling approach to a social-psychological theory about power is presented. In the linguistic simulation model some problems arose amongst which was a fuzzification tendency. Some methods to overcome this problem are discussed. Moreover, a first step is made towards the development of an analytical theory of this type of linguistic models.
