Abstract

In this paper, we present a Model dealing with Linguistic Negation of Nuanced Properties. Our Approach to Negative Information is based upon a Similarity Relation between Nuanced Properties. A Choice Strategy allows the User to explain more explicitly the intended meaning of Linguistic Negations. This Model improves the abilities in Classical Knowledge Management in that a premise or conclusion of a Classical Rule can include Linguistic Negations. Moreover, Default Reasoning can be extended through a Linguistic Approach to Negative Information.
