Abstract
In Chapter 2 it has been stated the 2-tuple linguistic model deals with linguistic information in an accurate way in decision-making problems defined in linguistic contexts in which all experts provide their information on the same linguistic scale. However, real-world decision problems are usually defined in much more complex contexts, in which heterogeneous information with multiple linguistic scales or with different types of information is necessary for modelling the information elicited by the experts involved in the decision situation. This chapter shows several 2-tuple linguistic based approaches that have been developed to deal with those heterogeneous contexts in decision-making problems: the 2-tuple linguistic based approaches to deal with multigranular linguistic information and the 2-tuple linguistic based model to deal with nonhomogeneous information.
