Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a method that affects inference results leading to a new interpretation of a truth qualification by adding a weight attribute to truth qualified fuzzy sets. With this method, we can obtain different inference results depending on the truth qualifiers by transforming a statement with fuzzy quantified and truth qualified natural language propositions. We applied our method to two examples transforming a fuzzy predicate of the natural language propositions and showed an effectiveness of the method.
