Popis: This paper analyzes the difference between the linguistic information and other forms of preference information, and finds that linguistic terms contain both definitive information and hesitant information. A new method for representing linguistic information is presented, namely the semantic three-tuple representation. In the method, to describe clearly the linguistic information, a three-tuple is used to represent the support degree, hesitation degree and opposition degree of linguistic information. In this paper, definitions and properties on semantic three-tuple are given, and three aggregation operators on semantic three-tuple are also given. Then, for the group decision-making problem with linguistic information, a method based on semantic three-tuple is presented. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper.
