Abstract
In Chapter 4, fuzzy logic in narrow sense has been presented at length. A lot of arguments have been given in favour of this logic, among which the most important is its role in providing tools for modelling of the vagueness phenomenon via graded approach. Consequently, FLn should be a theoretical basis standing beyond methods and techniques of fuzzy logic. The mediator between the latter and FLn is natural language. To be more specific, most of the applications of fuzzy logic are based on the generalized modus ponens mentioned in Chapter 1, which is a model of one of the fundamental principles of human reasoning. Recall that it typically uses fuzzy IF-THEN rules, which are conditional statements containing expressions of natural language and interpreted using fuzzy sets.
