Abstract
We study knowledge-based systems using symbolic many-valued logic and multiset theory. In previous papers we have proposed a symbolic representation of nuanced statements like “John is very tall”. In this representation, we have interpreted some nuances of natural language as linguistic modifiers and we have defined them within a multiset context. In this paper, we continue the presentation of our symbolic model and we propose new deduction rules dealing with nuanced statements. More precisely, we present new Generalized Modus Ponens rules and we study the form of graduality verified by these rules.
