In this chapter, we propose a multi-person decision making procedure
where agents judge the alternatives through linguistic expressions generated by an
ordered finite scale of linguistic terms (for instance, ‘very good’, ‘good’, ‘acceptable’,
‘bad’, ‘very bad’). If the agents are not confident about their opinions, they
might use linguistic expressions composed by several consecutive linguistic terms
(for instance, ‘between acceptable and good’). The procedure we propose is based
on distances and it ranks order the alternatives taking into account the linguistic information
provided by the agents. The main features and properties of the proposal
are analyzed.
